I am 9 days post op and am just now feeling good. Am on full liquids for another week and then off to soft foods. I am so happy it is over but really am looking forward to eating again! I am actually craving cottage cheese! I think I am just tired of sweet Protein drinks! Anyways, looking forward to this journey

It is amazing all the different diets the surgeons' but us on. My surgery was 9/11 and I was allowed to do cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, sf pudding on day four and today I am to start with soft boiled eggs or poached eggs. food does look good, but I'm not hungry and trying to even get the above in is almost impossible for me. Just trying to get in all the fluids first. Agree the Protein Drinks are getting rather old. But we can look forward to eating somewhat normal down the road, just not as much.

Oldandyoung I agree with you! I have read books and blogs and, of course, my own post op instructions. There is such a large variance! I think my surgeon is on the conservative side, yet I am supposed to be on a 'normal' diet at 4 weeks. Can't imagine! I only have 3 more days before cottage cheese and soft boiled eggs. Am looking forward to something different. Even if only a few bites.

I agree, it is interesting the different diets we are all on. Supposedly, at 4 weeks I should be on a regular rny diet. Had fish yesterday with no issues. Am looking forward to continue hearing how everybody is doing throughout this experience!

      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.
