I am also 4 months out and loving it! I start the day with some yogurt and some good carbs(fruits, half english muffin, gronola) cause then I hit the gym and the carbs help maintain your blood sugar. I still drink a Protein Drink throughout the day just to make sure I am getting in all that Protein. For lunch and dinner I have fish or chicken and a small amount of veggies if I can stomach it(I'm still only able to eat 3 to 4 oz a meal) or I just enjoy the protein. I love all seafood it is so easy to mix up reciepes and its so so high in protein. Pay close attention to your tummy though cause what used to work before may not work now. I try small amounts of everything before having a "full" meal. Good Luck!

I'm 10 months post op and I have cottage cheese for Breakfast, Protein Shake for snack, Soup for lunch and somthing small for dinner. After surgery I totally do not like meat any more so I will be drinking my Protein for ever. I like to each low fat cheeses, veggies, pretzels, nuts, seeds etc. Also you may want to check with your surgeon and se what they suggest you be eating.

I was wondering today if I would become a vegetarian because even the smell of meat makes me sick, during the liquid phase, chicken broth and beef broth both made me so so sick, and I have tried chicken and beef in small portions does not agree with me right now at all :(

      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.
