I'm 3 months out and can only manage getting in about 500 cal daily. I eat egg custard, eggs, dannon light &fit Greek yogurt, kashi Protein Cereal, Braums low fat milk, Jerky, blackened chicken, cheese sticks, Quest bars, cottage cheese and peaches and I drink hot chai spiced tea to help calm my stomach and warm me up daily. I'd love to hear what you are all eating as well.

I am almost 2.5 months out. I try to stay between 700-900 calories. I have to really watch this b/c for me I can easy go over since I eat high fat/low carb . I usually stay below 15 carbs and below 5 grams of sugar a day and I get about 65 grams of Protein but I want to increase this slightly.

I'm just eating normal, but, I try to do healthy. This is an example of what I had yesterday.

Breakfast-oatmeal

Lunch-Smart Ones chicken Enchilada

Dinner- 2 (very small) baby back ribs and 1/4 cup of potato salad, 1/4 cup broccoli/carrots.

Snack-100 calorie packet of walnuts and almonds

Average about 700-800 cals a day. But, I've been on a stall for 3 weeks now. Ugh, frustrating

      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.
