At this stage just make sure you are getting in your liquids. The last thing you want to get is dehydrated. Get a kids sippy cup and just keep sipping all day long.

As for the Protein remember that a Protein shake counts for liquid and Protein. Just keep trying more and more things and you will find something that tastes good.

Trust me this phase passes and things will work out. I am sure you will soon have regret if you have joy already. It is normal to go through this and it will pass.

Hang in there!!!

I can't stand the smell of Protein Shakes. I tried Protein Shots thinking they would be easy to get my Protein in, but I was wrong they are worse, they r way to thick, not even freezing them worked may I say (yuck) I'm still struggling with protein shakes. But something's got to work.

I am eating cream of chicken Soup, strained, mixed with one scoop of unflavored Protein powder. It doesn't change the taste at all. You just have to heat the Soup up (but not too hot or the powder will clump) then whisk in the powder. It adds 25gr protein. I've done this with Tomato and roasted red pepper soup, too. You can also mix some choc Protein Powder into Jello sf choc pudding. That's another one that doesn't taste different, although it makes it a little less thick.

I still don't get in enough Protein or Water. shakes make me vomit...so nasty! I switched to Water w/minerals and have been able to choke down 3 bottles a day. It's hard being pregnant with RNY. Taste buds are off so bad.

      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.
