Would love to hear any tips anyone has on eating post op and the liquid diet & what worked for you!!!

I'm May 16th too. Make sure you have liquids avaiable to you when you get home. I've been told that Water is the most important thing right after surgery. Don't let yourself get dehydrated. I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken soup/protein powder, Atkins shakes and some baby food jars ready for me when I get back home.

Best wishes!

Me too on the 16th. I ordered one container of each of the Unjury Protein powders after nutritionist gave me samples to try. I also bought every flavor of unsweetened Jello they had and several flavors for Water, even though I love water. My daughter has helped me so much since she has already been through it 4 years ago. She was sleeved and lost 165 pounds in about 2 years. I really like the unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein Drink because it's one you drink warm. I took one whole cabinet for my drink stuff. When you get to mushy or purreed if you do mashed potatoes use beef or chicken instead of water or milk. adds flavor. Good luck everyone and if we don't talk again before, catch you over the weekend or next week and we can share stories!

      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.
