Greek yogurt, refried Beans (fat free), cheese, personal instant mashed potato cups, hummus. Are you allowed vegetables yet? Get the steam in the bag kind. it'll get easier and your choices will broaden soon! I'm 5 weeks out and can eat about anything now. Good luck :)

String cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt. Make a few ahead of time, sugarfree pudding spiked with Protein powder, you add it when you make it. Can't taste it.

Hope you're doing well back at work!

SF Jell-O, yogurt, 1% cottage cheese. In a week or so you can add deli meat, I loved smoked turkey!

I kept cottage cheese and parmesan cheese at work and would bring Tomato sauce in a little babyfood jar.. Dump all together and microwave for a savory meal/snack. Hummus was delicious to eat with just a spoon. I'd also bring a small container of curried lentils and melt half a piece of cheese on it in the microwave.

Now that I'm eating all foods, I keep Quest Protein bars at work. They're delicious and have 17 grams of glorious Fiber and 20 grams of Protein for 160-200 calories depending on flavor.. For a meal I'll eat a whole one.. for a snack I'll eat half.

Another favorite snack is just a piece of deli meat wrapped around a slice of avocado. I think I started deli meats in week 3 or 4 and it went down really easy.

Anderson Split Pea Soup or Low fat Turkey chili (dump in cup and heat in microwave)

Protein drinks

Starbucks Instant Decaf (great with skim milk or soy milk for 9 grams of protein)

No sugar added apple sauce cups

As others have mentioned: Greek Yogurt cups, low fat string cheese (great with a slice of lunchmeat rolled around it), low fat lunch meat, cottage cheese

      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.
