For the first 10 days I did lots of strained cream Soups and Protein Shakes. That was about it. My doc said Greek plain yogurt, Jello, and pops but cold stuff hurt my pouch so I stayed away. After that I got to add in ff refried Beans w rf cheese and taco sauce, puréed chicken salad or chicken fajitas (but taco sauce for blending.) that stage was another week. Then soft foods for 2 weeks- shaved deli meat (love the chicken) and a slice of rf cheese (I have this 2-3 times a day), lots of Protein shakes (bought an ice cream maker to turn them into ice cream- I can handle cold now), imitation crab meat w a couple sprays of I can't believe it's not butter to pretend lol, eggs scrambled, etc. I didn't "cook" a lot of meals. I'm solo so it felt like a waste to break out a pan and dishes to eat a 4th of a cup. Deli meat saved me! Now I'm starting "normal" foods, but I'll stick to deli meat still lol

      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.
