Hah-! So glad. When you tire if taco, try ranch dip powder. I did a variety of international flavors, like masala and turmeric for Indian, etc. I know you have to go easy on the spices and not everyone can tolerate, but I had no problems and the savory options kept me sane.

The taco seasoning idea is genius! Wish I'd have known that when my family was eating tacos last night, lol! I was sleeved 3/31 and have been struggling to get more than 1 shake in. Yesterday at Walmart my 10-year-old son spotted some "vials" from New Whey that are 42 g of Protein in just 3.8 oz. Let me tell you, it tastes like ass, but it's so worth it to only have to get 3.8 oz down! I'm taking a few swallows several times a day. I figure I can do this until I get to the point where I can have a protein bar!

Lmao Lisa. Taco is definitely better than ass.

Unjury makes chicken broth flavored Protein Powder. It's reasonably tasty. Just make sure you don't heat it over 140 degrees F.

Thanks but no thanks. That doesn't sound appealing to me at all.

My pain is stomach pain. It changes all the time. I think sometimes it's just terrible hunger pain, then I manage to eat a teaspoon of purée food and then that hurts. I'm so thirsty, but if I drink more that 2 tiny sips, it hurts. Then I get indigestion. I have pain in my back/ lungs and cant get a good breath. I'm just miserable.

Did they advise to try antacids? That presents as stomach and shoulder pain, might help to get you through to your Doctors Appt...

Been there and now I'm tired of mashing up all my foods in the pureed stage. Ready to eat real solid foods!

      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.
