Hi all! New to group!! I had my surgery on March 17! I'm having a really hard time mentally. It's like as soon as I start eating I'm full and I want to keep eating. I have a family and I have to smell the things their cooking so that is hard too. Wednesday I get to start eatting some real food (meats, lunch meats, veggies) so I am hoping this helps some. I am so tired of the Protein Shakes as I read from a lot of other members. I use Unjury and ever since surgery it just seems so sweet to me, anyone else have this problem?? But good news is it's been 12 days and I'm down 20lbs! It doesn't feel like it to me yet :) still sore but trying take it one day at a time!!

For anyone who is sick of Protein Shakes my doctor gave me a list of low cal high Protein shakes you can make yourself, they are easy and good and not super expensive, and they are not so sickening sweet as store bought! I'll be happy to share if you email me your email address. Mine is nebrfan19@hotmail.com

Hello sorry to hear that I've heard a few ppl go thur this maybe you should try some mash potatoes really mash mix it with some low fat ricotta or whatever you think will make it super soft .... Also Try the chili from Wendy's super high in Protein and it's yummy. And maybe to prevent anything from coming up don't drink 30 mins before eating and 30 mins after Eating , oh yeah and last thing like an hour or two take an omeprazole too avoid any acid and if that doesn't work call your surgeon , don't want to dehydrate your self !!! Hope all works out

      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.
