I'm just shy of 3 weeks out & on the "soft Protein & protein shake" phase for my hospital. If it's cottage cheese or greek yogurt from a larger container I'm measuring out 4oz on my food scale. Egg salad I'm using 1 egg w/T of canola/olive oil mayo, tuna 1/2 can with 1 T of mayo, 1 scrambled egg.. I think for the most part my food is fitting into 1/2 cup.

I'm still on all liquid post- phase but the rule of thumb they told me is never more than 4 oz / 1/2 cup at a meal. Right now it's hard to get all that Liquid Protein in with the Water but I'm trying!

At the most 1/2 cup. I was sleeved on 01/11/13. My sleeve seems to be much smaller then others though. I can hardly fit anything in there. I've had a lot of weightloss success though :) I don't think there is a right answer here as everyone is so different!

      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.
