Me too. I am a week post op and can't go to next level for another week. Never thought I would look so forward to yogurt.

Totally understand. I get puree starting tomorrow and I'm so ready. Between pre and post it's already weeks of liquids (and not as many as some so trying not to be to whiny, LOL).

That said I have been able to make my liquids using yogurt and will continue those since they're yummy and will keep the Protein up. The ready to drinks are getting really old though.

Enjoy Thursday! :)

I feel for you totally. I've been having a rough time with artificial sweeteners. I get these obnoxious headaches. Even the crap they use in the shake mix . Not fun to deal with when you have a 14 month old running you ragged! I can start purées Saturday. Never thought I'd be so excited for applesauce, grits, and other mushy food. I did get permission to eat butternut squash Soup after the first week, thinned out with fat free milk. I also found unflavored Protein Powder to add to it. I can get down 1/4 cup, takes me about 10-15 minutes. I saw a recipe with broccoli, skim ricotta cheese, and roasted garlic I'm anxious to try. It looks super good. The funny thing with this surgery, food looks and smells and even sounds good. But. I still don't feel hungry or even really want it.

I feel your pain. It takes a lot for me to get a whole shake down. It's starting to almost make me nauseous. I have a hard time getting a lot of Water down too

      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.
