I have to stay on just Clear Liquids not even Protein Shakes for the first week then two more weeks full liquids! I thought this was a little weird cause they talk about how important your Protein and Vitamins are!

I blend thicker Soups with veg in them then Water them down with veg stock depending on what Soup it is, this makes its so it can pour like my surgeon stated. I am struggling with ideas to make meal times fun, we are a large family 7 in total and I hate sitting there drinking my weak soup while they enjoy proper meals :-( these are the times I find it the hardest especially when they are having something I really enjoy. Two more weeks then I'm on soft so must continue on liquid and know that its only the short term I will be able to eat properly one day just smaller portions :-) x

I was on full liquids two weeks before and two weeks after. Your stomach is still healing! I know it sucks but you can do it.

i would recommend not rushing, because as a 4 month post op sleever, i have noticed my most dramatic weight loss was during this period. most of my weight fell off the 1st 2 months and more people in my months, are experiencing stalls. im thinking of going back to full liquids a bit. gl, hang in there, its worth it.

I looked on the world according to egg face and wanted to make some of the ice creams but I'm not sure that the ingredients are available in the Uk. Protein Shake? Is that the same as slim fast in the uk? Plus the syrups? Not sure what they would be here. Any one know the UK equivalent? Thanks :-)

      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.
