Anything I want to eat, just small portions. Of course, I still focus on getting Protein first - and then I'm usually full!

Hmmmm lets see. Im 5 weeks out i have my shakes I eat eggwhite omlettes with mozz, I have grilled chicken breast still poulverize my broccoli like into mashed potatoes or cauliflower I dont know why

Im afraid to try it plain steamed with olive oil and salt , but something about the shape ant texture maybe? had a tiny piece of swordfish had a sliver of watermelon but it tasted so sweet to me , I really wasnt liking it. I had a meatballs, tender pork , steak , Peanut Butter ,crackers with rice flour and guacamole ,also turkey breast coldcut boars head with mayo and alot of decent calorie cheeses nothing over 7 grams of fat per serving. feta,mozz ect. so besides bread I basically eat everything. The only problem I had was day 2 in hospital I couldnt get down pureed food till they shot my iv with anti nausea meds from that point unfortunatelly I can eat everything! which means alot more mental work for me cause I know I can eat. I still shoot for 600 calories a day right now cause I can . We shall see how it goes. Dont be afraid to try things you will be ok. good luck to you, hope this helps.

I can get away with it and Im afraid to eat sweets yeay kudos for me thats one good thing going for me.

      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.
