Am so glad to finally get to phase 2...I was hoping you guys had some other ideas/options for this part beyond yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, etc...any thoughts?

I ate Mashed potatoes with added Protein powder, diluted, strained cream Soups with added Protein Powder, hummus, puréed bean Soups and split pea Soup (lots of protein), cream of wheat made with skim milk (for more protein), refried Beans, baby food meats and veggies, puréed tuna fish (actually really good with a dab of homemade mustard), and deviled ham.

Also if allowed in your puréed stage (surgeon's differ on details). Scrambled egg white, egg salad, soft cheeses like laughing cow light wedges. I made a yummy Huevos rancheros with refried Beans, cottage cheese, egg whites and green chili sauce.

The only way I've found to get my Protein in is to drink Isopure Protein Drink. It has 40 grams of protein/bottle. I make sure I drink one 20 oz. bottle every day. It's a bit expensive but totally worth it. I buy it at GNC.< /p>

      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.
