I was sleeved this last week September 2nd. I feel a lot better this week. I was doing awesome since getting home from the hospital up until yesterday. I started getting cravings for anything and everything I know I shouldn't have and idk how to curve these cravings! I don't wanna mess up on my diet and I definitely don't want to risk a leak and I don't want to cheat around my diet. Any suggestions on recipes or foods/soups that you found helped you get through the liquid 2 weeks post op!!

Try 1/2 medium banana, I scoop chocolate Protein Powder, 2 tbsp creamy Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup Water, 2 ice cubes. Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. 1/4 cup = 7.3 g Protein.

This got me through!!

Make sure you keep up with your Protein intake and Vitamins, Water is important too, I have 4 kids & a hubby I cook dinner then leave when the eat so I am not tempted. If you keep up on your protein & vitamins it should help so your body isn't feeling deprived, but I know it can be hard! I had low sodium beef broth or chicken broth helped when I wanted something savory, otherwise sugar free Jello, sf ice pops or sf italian ice, sf pudding, I bought (at costco) the Premier Protein premade shakes (choc, vanilla, & strawberries & cream) for my first few weeks it was a life saver to have those ready on hand in fridge (30g protein each too!) when I was making my own I was putting the Peanut Butter powder PB2 in my mixes to help with taste, hope some of this helps you! Best wishes!! ????

Cottage cheese has been my best friend! I like it with canned tuna, canned chicken and with pepper. It curbs my cravings for salt. I also drink 1-2 of the Premier drinks to get my Protein in. Wendy's chili is also on my allowed list. The meat is chopped fine and a small cup lasts me for 3-4 meals. I also like bean Soup and mash the Beans up well. Just some ideas. I know the soft stage gets boring! I am 27 days out of surgery and have lost 23 lbs so far.

These Are the worst weeks but it will get better. I had the same cravings but you can't eat the foods you are craving it's just your brain remembering those things. Hang in there after the 3rd week you will feel so much better.

I'm 6 weeks post surgery and down 32lbs.

      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.
