I was sleeved 8/29. I can only get 50g (1.7 oz)of anything down. I'm not worrying too much about it right now. I'm trying to focus more on getting my fluids in. I'm finally getting 2 liters in each day. Protein varies. Some days I get 62g and other days 15. It's a work in progress for sure.

I start at 6:30 in the morning with 1/2 liter of water and usually finish by 8. I have something for Breakfast at 8:30 and then wait 30 minutes and start drinking again. It's like a full time job! I try to get in a 1/2 liter before each meal and before bed. It's not easy but the idea of dehydrating freaks me out.

I also have a hard time tolerating the Protein shakes..and most make me nauseous. Now (6 weeks out) I can have the Protein Bars, and can tolerate them, although it seems like I'm eating a candy bar. I still have a hard time getting the required 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day, all I can do is around 50. Any suggestions?

      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.
