What recipes......there's no room for adding a lot of ingredients to create a recipe. With only a couple of bites available, My priority is....... just eat whatever's high in Protein. (adding calories as I go) And drink as much as I can. <_<

Baked salmon with a light coating of olive oil and sprinkle of basil. This was very easy for my stomach to digest. I have also had success with grilled asparagus. tuna mixed with cottage cheese. Baked potato is easy to digest.

i am eating Soups, scrambled eggs with shaved ham added, egg salad, chili, bean Soup with ham, grilled shrimp with a spoonful of ceasar salad, rotisserie chicken with LITERALLY a teaspoonful of macaroni salad, a few baked nachos with some ground beef, shredded low fat cheese and salsa, meatballs, sausage balls, pork loin with baked squash, 1 slice toast with deli ham and cheese, and all sorts of things. i'm 5 wks out and pretty much on regular food at this point. i have not yet tried untoasted bread, tortillas, or stringy meats (steak, roast beef).

my sleeve absolutely tells me when i am one bite from full, and i know to stop. enjoying so many foods that i was once worried i wouldn't be able to ever have again. no worries so far. tolerating all the things i have tried so far!

      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.
