Nothing terrible its not a liquid diet. I usually have a shake in the morning and one for lunch and I've been eating 2oz. tuna with 1oz. Light mayo on a slice of toasted rye with 2 cups steamed broccoli or carrots with a cup of strawberries for desert. If I get real hungry during the day I have a Greek yogurt 0% of course. Maybe I'm just getting anxious and impatient.

Also? You're going to wish you could eat this stuff when you're on post-op liquid diet ;) just look at it that way :) Just trying to spin this in a positive way ;) good luck!!!

Sorry, the above link is for an extensive list of shake recipes. maybe changing up the shakes would help.

Also, Soup is good because it has Protein and there is such a good variety out there. My pre op diet consisted of 2 shakes per day and one serving Soup. The variety really helped.

When I was on the preop diet, I blended my lunch shake with ice to make a sort of frappuccino - gave it more volume anyway.

Hang in there, you're almost there!!

      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.
