Hi Nicki!

I was a little nervous too as each food stage progressed but, at the same time excited to be able to actually get some starches into the diet as well. Protein is still the main focus but, at least veggies and fruits are back as well as low cal bread if it's toasted. Lots of great, moist foods can be made now that the variety is open.

Do you have a slowcooker? If you do it's a great way to get nice, moist, lean meats in. The internet is full of recipes! Last weekend I made pulled pork, this weekend I made chicken breasts cooked in salsa. I make an awesome chicken taco Soup that has chicken breast, pinto and black Beans in it. Lots of Protein with that and super moist and filling.

      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.
