I have been enjoying "Shelly's Baked Ricotta", Buffalo chicken salad made with very finely chopped/shredded chicken, lite mayo, Frank's Hot Sauce and Blue cheese Sprinkles, and shredded beef in crock pot with sliced onions & green peppers with beef broth and soy sauce. I can only eat about 3 ounces max. I can drink with no limitations but put some real food in this new stomach and it is a whole new deal!

At 4 weeks I was still on soft food. I was eating deli turkey and deli chicken, cooked veggies, canned frit in juice, one Protein shake a day, sf popsicles, Peanut Butter, triscuits, wheat thins, eggs, 2% cheese. It was awesome after being on a pre-op diet and then Protein shakes post-op.

I can eat most any animal Protein, legume, cheese and eggs up to 4 ounces per meal. No dairy (yogurt, milk, almond milk, soy milk, sugar free pudding, cottage cheese, etc) until the six month mark. At five weeks 1/2C vegetables are added but no corn, peas, or potatoes. At six weeks 1/2C of fruit was added once a day but not to be consumed at the same meal as the vegetables. I can substitute another serving of 1/2C vegetables for the fruit if I wish but not the reverse. Have to take one Co-Q 10 and 12 grams of Fiber supplements per day plus a Bariatric Vitamin three times a day. 64 oz of Water of which at least 32 ounces is plain water with no added flavorings. Sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello are permitted. Absolutely no snacking on anything between meals and no caffeine or alcohol. Some limited carbs are added in when I reach 75% of my weight loss. However I was advised to try not to start back on carbs if I can.

      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.
