I think i lost my way on the every 2 week switch up. I think the 2 weeks after surgery was supposed to be full liquid only. Which i think was Water, shakes, cream Soup, popsicles, SF of course on all pudding and Jello. Then after you have your 2 week post op appt you go into soft and puree foods. This is where you blend up your fat free foods. Refried Beans, scrambled or poached eggs. oatmeal, cream of wheat. I think most doctors want you on this 2 to 4 weeks before introducing the solids. I could be wrong please correct me? I know i am on day 14 post op. i have already did refried beans, string cheese, i even had a small portion of a smart one entree. That had meat and veggies. Rest of the time its been jello pudding lots of water and those crappy shakes. I think i have ruined it for myself. Its those flipping food commercials on TV, lol dammit!!!

Oh don't feel too bad. I did the same thing! My nut said that as long as my pouch was handling it well and I'm not getting sick from it, then it's ok. She said to just be sure to continue doing everything in moderation and get in my fluids and Protein. Eventually that's where you'll be headed anyway, so if you can handle it already, that's great! If you can, check in with your own nut to make sure that's ok.

Does anyone have a sample menu they would be willing to share? An example of a typical day for you that includes 60 grams of Protein? I am really struggling with this right now and any help would be much appreciated. I am 5 weeks post op today.

The only way I get mine in is if I do 2 Protein Shakes a day with 20g+ of protein each. I always have a greek yogurt which is another 12 to 16 depending on the brand and then my other 2 meals are usually refried Beans and salsa or canned chili with beans/turkey, sometimes beef. I also sometimes will have an egg with a sprinkle of cheese on it for a meal. I hope this helps some....but I have to still do the shakes to get it all in since my meals are so small.

My 10 day stall is finally over!! I broke down and had a shake yesterday along with some other Protein filled meals, and woke up to a 3 lb loss!!! I've been trying to do this without shakes but it's apparent that I can't. I celebrated by walking a mile this morning!

Yay for you. I went back to the shakes also. At least one maybe two a day my Protein daily is between 80/100. I'm hoping when I step on the scales Friday it will pay off I was in a big stall also. It's funny but it seemed that when I started exercising at around 4weeks post op I stopped losing :( hopefully I just needed a little kick.

Me too! I've tried so many different varieties with different flavored Protein powders and I just find them all sickening. The only one I've found to be decent yet is chocolate Protein Powder mixed with a Decaf skinny mocha from Starbucks.

      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.
