Don't worry about the food for awhile, just try to get the liquids in. Try a shot glass at a time and keep track

Thanks I will try that . It's also hard to get all my Protein in but I am going to go buy some Isopure drinks I know that will help with my protein intake

I am also 3 days out and having a very difficult time getting my Protein and liquid requirements in for the day. I only got about half in yesterday. Hoping for an improvement today. This is certainly a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Try to think of these first couple of weeks as babying your new sleeve and incisions. Healing time. Gentle liquids to keep you hydrated and be easier on the abused tissue. Don't be concerned about all the diet regimens right now. Later when you transition to soft, then solid foods and are allowed to start doing real exercises......that's when you can step it up a notch and pay closer attention to daily intakes. Just try to get in enough liquids so you don't get dehydrated or dizzy. Take it easy. ;)

      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.
