My Snacks are usually reduced fat string cheese, Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt with some granola or Kashi Cereal mixed in, 1 oz. of dry roasted lightly salted peanuts, some sort of meat stick (like a beef stick, but usually turkey instead), and Protein Bars.< /p>

I have light and lively greek yogurt, it's only 80 calories and they are so good. I have snack

bags of thin pretzel sticks, 100 calories per bag and if I want something a little sweet I get

animal crackers, 16 crackers are 120 calories. I know they have carbs, but I am still losing

weight so I am good with them. Every now and then I will have 2 oz of ice cream but that is not

much. I can't eat much at a time so when I want something I eat it but only a small amount. If

you don't have something that you want every now and then you will get board and do things you

should not. This is a lifetime change and it is not easy for any of us. It is depressing some

times when I am out with family and friends and I can't eat. My family understands and they are

an inspiration to me. I eat anything that I want to eat after I get my Protein in and it is

working for me. Try different things, I found that my taste buds have changed. I can't eat the

bad things that I use to because it tastes bad now. I think that is normal to. I keep my calories

at 800 - 1200.

corkyg: I hurt when I first take a bite of something. The Dr. gave me a prescription for hyoscyamine

I put one under my tongue 1 hour before I eat and it really helps with swallowing and it eases the

pain when I eat. They did an upper G.I. and found that when I eat my stomach has spams. You might

want to discuss this with your surgeon. I don't know if it is common after sleeve surgery. I hope

it gets better for you.

      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.
