I'm only 4 days out. I'm gonna try the mushy stage tomorrow. If I can handle it...I'm sticking to it. I'd rather eat regular bland for vs. another Protein Shake right now. I'll drink the protein flavored waters, but "NO MORE PROTEIN SHAKES". Lol

Please be careful transitioning to mushy. I'm advising you to talk to your doctor first about the protein. Your only 4 days out, I'm 8 days and I'm still on liquids for 6 more days. You can add plain Protein Powder to your broths and be getting that in. Try drinking things warm, cool, and cold to see what helps you get it down. Please be aware your tummy has been through a lot and may not be ready to handle soft/mushy foods yet. Talk to your doctor please!.........

Ok, so I finally found something I can stomach. Unflavored Unjury with unsweetened cocoa and low cal Peanut Butter powder. I can sweeten it to my liking. The peanut butter powder and cocoa mask the smell of the Protein. Thank God!!!

I'm still trying to get my Protein meats to go down smooth and I'm chewing very well but the gas is gone yeeess

How many weeks are you post op? How do you gauge that you have chewed enough? I'm not at that stage yet, just started full liquids but I'm very curious. Thanks :)

      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.
