dinner is like chicken with ff brown gravy or tuna or chicken salad. soft carrots or soft broccoli

weekends is 1 to 1.5 scrambled egg, vitamins water lunch is tuna or chili snack is yogurt cheese

lots of chobani and lots of SF pops

tonight i branched out. i had a thin baked pork chop. scraped all the breading off.

plus i had 2 long asparagus.

with a fork full of whipped mashed potatoes.

am almost 14 weeks out; when I was first cleared for the stage 5 diet I was very concerned with how little I could eat and how difficult it was to eat things like chicken. My surgeon said don't worry, everyone is at their own pace and it is okay to stay on mostly liquids longer. He was right, your body lets you know if what your eating is not working. I can eat almost anything now, although beef and pork are still easier for me than chicken. Morning shakes also work well for me, I get half my Protein and a quarter of my Fluid on my drive to work. I started with premixed but now make my own with skim milk, protein, and fresh fruit using a ninja.

      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.
