My aunt makes the best chicken salad. She puts grapes in it.

My favorite Protein is tuna - I add low fat mayo, diced carrots, green onion & pepper. Refrigerate overnight and bam- best tasting Protein ever!

Are you getting your fluids & Protein? I just began to not feel hungry bc the rest of the ghrelin (sp?) is continuing to get out of your system.

Mash potatoes and Popsicles have been my savior. Nothing has settled so well before. I am thankful I found the right combo.

Its crazy because I Changed my eating habits 6 months ago. My surgery placede on the diet I would eat after surgery so I could get use to it. It was rough at first and I swear I went crazy because I could not get food off my mind. Now that I have been sleeved everything I am use to eating I cannot stomach. Protein Shakes and broth for sodium was something I had everyday. I can't do them anymore and it sucks... I have not had mash potatoes in 6 months. I didn't want to start craving carbs if I did. Now mash potatoes is the only thing besides popsicles my stomach can handle without gas or bubble guts. Also I am craving everything I cant have. I think Its more mental...

      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.
