What does your program allow? All are different.

My week 4,5 &6 allowed the following protein: canned tuna, canned salmon, white flaky fish, egg in any form, low fat cottage cheese, lactose free skim milk, plain yogurt, low fat cheese, Beans.

Call your nutritionist and talk specifics with them.

It's the same food plan. But I fill like I need more or missing something. It's very hard

It is very hard. I'm not getting enough Protein but my practice told me not to worry about it. It will come with time.

Are they letting you have protien/meal replacement shakes? I think my program allows for shakes to be sipped through the day if more protien is needed or if we're not getting enough nutrition. I would suggest asking the docs office or nut

Pretty sure the only thing that helped me get through that stage was "egg salad" and chili.

I made the "egg salad" by scrambling some egg whites then mixing in mustard and fat free Miracle Whip.

I did attempt to mix in the occasional tuna salad, chicken salad, etc..., but nothing else really tasted near as good to me.

As for noodles - nope, they're not allowed in my program. However, I have recently started having zucchini "noodles" which definitely satisfied the craving I had for Pasta. But I doubt I'll ever be trying regular Pasta again.

      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.
