I am 6 days in from surgery and I am so bored with yogurt, pudding...I don't like cottage cheese so that's out...is there anything else I could eat to help me make it through the rest of my two wks?

I struggled with everything the first few weeks. Keep a good variety around. It will get easier. I wanted broth at the beginning. Good luck

My bariatric team had me get mrs grass chicken noodle Soup and cook it up but strain out the noodles. It was a lot more satisfying and did not taste like dish Water.< /p>

@@jenn2752781 Why don't you make the broth yourself? Its very easy and so much better and you controll what you

put in it. The rest of the family can eat the chicken or you can make vegetable broth as well and blend the chicken and

the vegetable together.

I'm not sure if the broth I'm using is the best but I love it and it's a beef flavored. It is not low-sodium. Called Kendall farms. And use it for my Soups all the time and I find it actually at the dollar tree.

You can eat thick Soups also. I had Campbells healthy choice Tomato and cream of chicken Soup, Anderson Soup = Split Pea, or Campbells split pea and I blended in the mixer to make smooth, Healthy choice soups, just eat broth. sugar free maple brown sugar or apple cinnamon oatmeal, Protein shakes, lite muscle milk or Premire Protein shake, get some unflavored Protein powder and add to your food. Good luck it gets easier

My pouch seems to like less flavorful foods right now. My favorite has been Campbell's Cream of Potato Soup with 1.5 cans skim milk and a healthy scoop of cottage cheese. Blend it, strain it (not much left to strain after I used the liquify setting lol) and then I put it in a travel coffee mug. For some reason I have an easier time getting it down that way than using a spoon. I think I slurp in too much air and it upsets my tummy.

      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.
