This isn't an ideal post-op snack by any means, but SmartFood popcorn goes down real nice. Don't tell!

In kind if boring' date=' at five weeks out, I eat fruit flavored mints (certs, ice breakers, etc). They are low in carbs and satisfy the sweet tooth.[/quote']

Oh that is a good idea.

No I haven't tried trader joes; will have to look into it. I would love to find one that is low in sodium and still tastes good. I usually have jack links jerky but it can be way too salty for me at times. I used to be a salt addict before surgery, but I just can't handle it anymore.

How much sodium is in the TJ kind? I got some Jerky at Whole Foods today and it only has 270g, the lowest I have seen.

A word to the wise that is worth repeating! Read the labels! I grabbed one that had 18g of Protein and later read that it had something like hydrolyzed soy protein... or something like that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
