I can't go Another Week with liquid and Protein shakes. I can't even Stand to Look at the container of Protein. All I want is a simple chicken stir fry with fresh veggies.... Sighhhhhh one more week to purée stage.

Pinterest has several recipes for pizza using Cauliflower for the crust. I have been craving pizza and chinese food but surfing Pinterest for recipes I will be able to have during my next few phases has helped. I don't hang out with my family during mealtime but sitting with everyone at Easter dinner eating my cottage cheese didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I can have tuna as of Thursday, I'm very excited. My surgeon doesn't go by liquids / puree / etc. I have very specific lists of food for each week up to week 7 so I spend my time in anticipation of my next set of menu options! It's not the lack of eating that's bothering me, I don't get hungry. It's the lack of flavor. I can't wait until I can have hot sauce!!!

There's a great recipe using cheese as a crust. Also you can use a wrap as a crust.

Marina my daughter bought me potatoe Soup the light of course a d ground pinto Beans and added that with a little Water . Was rely good just really chew the potatoes touch it was Campbell's soup. PA told me to stay away from food like mashed potatoes or similar like pudding due to it not having any nutritional value . That's why we added the beans for Protein. I will mash up some tofu in a blender and add that also , daughter says it will melt like sour cream and high in protein. It beats. just fluids and I really enjoyed it.

My Doctor had me on soft foods the day I left the hospital. I'm really scared to eat though, I drink Slim Fast 20gr Protein and 2 or 3 grams of sugar. Creamy chocolate. Very /good

      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.
