Have you tried going to a Chinese restaurant and getting something like egg drop Soup? You can ask for mostly broth then when you get home strain it... It's more satisfying than canned type broths.

I am right there with you. I was sleeved on the 9th.my doctor said TWO weeks on clears but there is no way. I even have home made broth but with the two previous weeks its just ridiculous.

I just today realized that I am wanting something that isn't fruity or sweet. Something that just tasted like food w more consistency than Water.

Do you think it's head hunger, or real stomach hunger? I'm one week out today and I have stomach pains (kinda like a cramp) and I wonder if it's hunger. I just still don't feel good enough to even think about solids (even if it is real hunger). I don't even know if that makes sense....haha!

Oh it makes sense! And yes its probably head hunger the strongest hunger known to man kind!

:P but that doesn't make it easier. I know...

Right now your stomach is mangled so its best to keep to liquids. Good luck guys.

My instructions said I can start eating creamy Soups on Day 4

So I made some cream of mushroom just to try. I whipped it in my Blendtec before heating it up to be sure there was NO bits of anything. Then I added almond milk. I had 1/2 cup over an hour and felt almost relieved.

You could try taking one spoonful of greek yogurt and really swish it around in your mouth first.

Congrats!!

we were sleeved on the same day and I am down 12 lbs in five days. :)

Yeah, most of us can have yogurt when we move to full liquid stage. And yes they (nuts and such) say plain yogurt, no fruits this early out. Plain Greek yogurt to me tastes just like sour cream (which I like) but I add some Splenda to it. A lot of people put the sf Torino syrups in it..

Greek yogurt is really good but thick definitely wait until you are at that stage and only take a little in. Even at 6 months out it fill me up quick!

      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.
