That is hard. I say try some baked flaky fish if you can that was on my soft diet. It's funny how each nutritionist and surgeon have different requirements. I was one week each. Liquid' date=' soft, regular. All the best![/quote']

That's why we have to know our bodies and do what feels right and healthy. I heard someone asking the calories in a chicken nugget. With the tiny tummies we have....we should be putting the most healthy Protein in there as we can. :-)

My doc required the same' date=' but I almost went insane. I've tried a lil this and a ill that if the next stages and took it slow. I've done great and I feel great! Not chewing almost made me insane....really:-). I thought I would lose it if I couldn't bite into something. An egg white omelet never tasted so good. Lol[/quote']

OMG I love the egg white omelet hahaha, yea that's what I am doing, experimenting :)

Hi, I know and I'm proud of losing. I'm probably being hard on myself but maybe my stall will go away tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself today so I'll wait til Friday to check and hopefully be happy even if it just moves 1 or 2 lbs :)

I do too. 3 weeks out only 10 lbs as of today. My wellness doc told me to ensure I'm getting minimum 65 g's of Protein up to 100 if I can. I am having a hard time getting the calories in. He told me to ensure I watch all fats. In my extensive bloodworm GE does. He's a metabolic and hormonal doc. It's good to have that stuff checked. I learned a ton about why I was chubby. Anyway....I'm just happy I'm losing. Celebrate your wins. :-)

      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.
