Welcome first off and congrats. I am five weeks out. Alright for the first two weeks sf Jello cottage cheese Greek yogurt cream Soups cream of wheat or boat meal Protein shakes as you need to get 60 to 80 grams. Lots of Water crystal light no pop or juices unless sugar free. After two weeks puréed food . I use my an app called myfitnesspal you can track how much Protein you intake daily as well as carbs calories. Protein is very important helps healing weight loss hair loss ect... I hope this helps. Myfitnesspal is for blackberries iPhones and computers . I download it to my iphone and log all my food so I can keep track of good . Hope this helps. You can add me if you like crstalww. Ooh yes one more food. pudding sf laughing cow cheese.< /p>

      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.
