I didn't start eating real food until week 5. I focused on staying hydrated and eating Protein shakes and Soup with added Protein. After week 5 it has been protein, protein, protein, a little fat and little to no carbs. And don't forget the Water. My doctor's recommendation is to add new food once a week. If it doesn't sit well, don't force it. Try it again in a month.

So protein first - that is essential in healing, then other stuff and I would stay away from the carbs at first - while your stomach is healing.

Good luck

Hello...I'm new to the forum, and I was sleeved April 14, 2014. I have lost a total of 43 lbs but with some pretty crazy complications...I had a pretty bad reaction to my incision tape, and really haven't been able to eat but teaspoon size amounts every four or five hours. I always take my Vitamins, but it takes me almost all day to do so. I developed a kidney infection, and my allergic reaction to the tape is still clearing up....sigh....I kept thinking I am just being dramatic, but seriously, im weak and tired. My Dr is great, and his staff are extremely supportive....however, I go back to work Monday the 12th, and I travel every week for my agency. My biggest concern, ...dragging luggage through a busy airport, when I barely have the strength to make dinner for my family!...I have made Protein my priority, but seriously, can't stand the shakes!...any suggestions for my concerns?...all would be most welcome!!

      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.
