Hopefully it's just gas trying to make it's way out but if it don't stop I'd definitely call your dr just to be safe :) I too am getting a little bored with the diet but I am trying to just keep my goal in mind. Tomorrow I can have pureed chili and it sounds like Heaven I can't wait lol.

Pretty good, I try to have one for Breakfast, lunch and dinner which puts me at 90g of Protein for the day...I'm only required 60-70 so if I can't get that 3rd one completely gone I don't beat myself up over it. How about you? Which one are you using? Do you make it with milk or Water?

I was using those shakes before my surgery and hope to use them again eventually, but I can only take about 4oz at a time right now so I use 1% milk (4oz) and 1 scoop of Protein which gives me 30g of protein and 180 cal. I use the body fortress whey protein from Walmart, I have tried Peanut Butter chocolate and today I am going to try the strawberry mixed with 50/50 strawberry v8 splash (diet). How many ounces can you drink at once right now?

Hiya vsgmommy

I was sleeves on 3/18 n still on the liquid phase. My first post-op is this wed also!! Yayy! Can't wait to see how much I've lost n hopefully move to puree foods. As of now I can drink 8oz of Protein shake down twice a day. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder it taste really good. N Soups twice a day about 6 oz. n Water of course but I know not enough. I'm also taking chewable Vitamins twice a day from Bariatric Advantage. They taste a littlw bitter so looking for better ones. We are close n dates we can be buddies! :)

      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.
