guys I'm 2 weeks post op . & im struggling with the shakes . I have a big family so there's always food prepared and I eat a tiny tiny bit of what's available even though most foods aren't in my diet . I went to the nutritionist today cause I had an appt and she set me straight so I don't need any scolding but if you are whatever . I just have a question when can I start introducing fruits into my diet for fruit smoothies and Protein Shakes . What's so bad about me having a fruit smoothie with no sugar and 40 grams of Protein .

Sounds like a question for your nutritionist as well. I had specific guidelines with dates of when I could introduce foods along the way. I was allowed peeled and pureed fruits without seeds in stage 3... days 18-27. But it specifically says "after" Protein. In other words, don't fill up on fruits and not get your protein in.

You should have asked the nutritionist that. Also a fruit smoothie with no sugar is a bit of an oxymoron. If you're having fruit, you're getting sugar. Where would the 40 grams of protein come from?

      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.
