I was sleeved on Monday, I feel great, but finding it hard to get in my Protein. My Dr has me on clears until next Tues!! I'm desperate to try something a little thicker!!! They said I shouldn't have Protein Shakes until next week.

I start purees today Hopefully it will be easyer to get the Protein in. I have a VERY hard time with the shakes. Pre op they were fine now (two weeks out) they make me sick to the stomach!!! I try to drink one everyday but it is soooo hard. I tried all kinds of powders and pre made they all have the same after taste and way too thick even when mixed with Water. So I am hoping that the puree stage will allow me to get more protein.

      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.
