I'm allowed artificial sweetner. What exactly are you having a hard time with? I have yet to be hungry and have to force myself to drink.

I can't have artificial sweeteners either, they give me a Migraine.< /p>

If you're looking for Protein drinks, Jay Robb has some that use Stevia, which I CAN use.

You were not given a food list ? Go to Endobariatric on fb and dr Alvarez has his food list there for every stage. Does that help?

Question for post op people... I had surgery on 10/15. Lost a bunch then stopped immediately when I started my full liquids. I've been logging on My Fitness Pal and I I've gotten the Protein in but I'm only taking in maybe 690 calories per day. I looked through my info from my Nutritionist and don't see any listing of calories per stage, just a list of protein/water requirements. Am I eating too few calories so my body is in starvation mode?? Starting puréed stage today, so maybe my body may react differently... I'm 44 years old... Anyone have particular success in a specific calorie range?

I am only getting in around 500 per day and I'm still losing. Surgery date 10/15 down 35 now. Lost 1 lb overnight last night. Maybe keeping in the 500-600 range helps.

      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.
