Okay so it had to happen right, a little over four days and I am going crazy! I don't mind the drinks - muscle milk, premier Protein, EAS, they are all pretty good, but they are all sweet! I want something savory.....something that tastes like dinner, not desert! I just fixed the kids macaroni and cheese, and I chewed it and spit it out! Sad, I know, but I am going crazy! HELP please.

Can you have creamed Soups? Warm chicken broth sipped from a mug?

Michele - thank you for your response. I just had beef broth, but it seems just like sucking on a salt lick! I know I sound whiny....and this is what I signed up for. I knew this would be hard, I just can't be snapping at my kids at every meal, just because I can't eat what they do. I can't imagine nothing but sweet drinks between now and Aug 7 either!

I mixed Unjury unflavored Protein Powder into every broth and cream Soup I could find....Swansons hot and sour base broth, tortilla soup base broth, chicken broth, beef broth, strained wonton soup, lobster bisque, Tomato Soup, cream of spinach, cream of asparagus, cream of shrimp, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cheddar cheese soup, potato leek soup, etc... I diluted and strained the cream Soups while on full liquids and ran them through the blender once I was on mushies. And beware not to heat over 140 degrees or the Protein will clump.

Hi there, I am 9 days post op and feel the same way you are feeling. Having to cook for your family and being around people who are constantly eating is not easy. I'm pretty tired of the shakes as well. I ordered the Unjury chicken Soup and it does taste decent, but it's still a liquid. It's just a nice change from the sweet shakes. I find myself being grumpy sometimes, because I want food.

      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.
