Sounds pretty normal to me. Just keep getting your Protein in. You will begin to feel less restriction over time and be able to eat more. If you start getting bored of the protein options you listed, I am sure you can get a TON of suggestions for other high protein foods to eat at this stage.

I think it is pretty normal. food tasted nasty to me for about six months. I even had to brush my teeth and use mouthwash every time I ate something or drank a Protein Drink just to get the "food" taste out of my mouth.

I regained my taste for food, not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing. LOL

Good luck to you!

Yup. I am 2.5 years out and at times and am physically very hungry and NOTHING is appealing. I often choose not to eat at all when this happens. Weird coming from a former fatty who used to think EVERYTHING sounded delish.

I didn't necessarily have my taste buds change, but I do get tired of all the sweet stuff like the Protein bars and shakes. Looks like you might need some variety. Here are some suggestions I can think of from my aresnal:

Tortilla Soup w/ chicken and avocado

Deli Turkey meat

Pimento cheese (if you aren't from the South, you may not know what that is :D )

sugar free Fat Free pudding with whey isolate Protein powder mixed in

Add a little PB2 to your shakes

Laughing Cow cheese wedge

Hummus

Hormel Turkey Chili or homemade chili

Mini Egg "Quiches"

Cheddar Cheese Stick or String Cheese

Try some other things. Go exploring in your grocery store this weekend and see what else you can find.

      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.
