Im eating regular foods for the most part. Im allowed everything but ground beef (2 more weeks), and then no nuts, Pasta, or rice (until Jan. 4). I tried fresh veggies for the first time this week. I had about 4 strips of green pepper. They were amazing lol Im trying to work a little veggies in at dinner. Since I still struggle some days with getting all my Protein, I haven't tried working veggies into all my meals yet. I eat a LOT of eggs and chicken. Occasionally fish sticks (baked) because I get tired of chicken and I don't like other fish. I also tried some really really soft beef Jerky yesterday (allowed) I seem to have a sleeve of steel. I haven't had a food make it mad yet lol I am intolerant of Protein Shakes, so I eat a serving of Roasted Edamame every day (usually Breakfast as Im not super hungry most mornings). Im trying to have a boring diet. I think I would do best if I found my routine with food and stuck with the same meals most days. I can also eat toast which is nice (my nuts rule is that I can only eat bread if it had a protein on top of it. No toast with butter or jelly.).

What shakes have you tried? It took a while but I am doing very well with the costco protien premier! I am having a BIG problem with burping, have you had any trouble?

Oh I've tried about 8 different types, but I gave up on them lol I don't have a costco around me though :) Burping..yes I've had a lot of it since day one after surgery. My sleeve gurgles and burps ALL the time. Its a little embarrassing, but Im just learning to go with the flow and joke about it. If Im thin and still doing it...Oh well. I'll be the thin girl with the gurgly belly 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.
