Ice chips or slushies were my go-to way to get in liquids when I could not tolerate anything room or barely cold. All my drinks if liquid had to be freezing cold (Dr said that this is normal btw) and when I found out about sugar free slushies and then how to make my own I was so excited and problem was solved for me. Also just plain ice chips works as well without any kind of sryup on it at all. I also froze flavored drinks and then crushed them up and that worked too. I got desperate enough to try to freeze a chocolate Protein Shake and eat it that way, but that did not work so well LOL. ICK had to toss that one failed attempt.

Use a nice strong blender- many swear by the ninja- or food processor. I just have a food processor with grater blade. Put ice through that until its the texture you like. Then put on your sugar free Syrup and eat. You can also freeze your fav drink and crush it the same way tjen no need for syrup. There are also slushie makers you can buy but I don't think it's necessary

      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.
