Seedless...dietician said to stay away from.sugarless cause it may be too sweet...i got the strawberry seedless jam...hell even just a spoonful helps for a different taste..i also bought top rammen in a cup...and strain it just drinking the broth...so at this moment eating the spicy chicken one and omg so good...

Miso is ok egg drop no...but again thats my dietician... Yogurt is good...oikos has a tripple zero thats good has 15gms of Protein little to no sugar..has a few good flavors too...salted carmel, chocolate. Also remember maybe ur belly dont tolerate cold food, maybe it prefers warm or hot..try it different ways..i notice i can drink broth but cant Water very well...

Today im having some stomach spasms so may take a pill later for it...its just random...i dont even have to be eating or drinking for it to come on.

I'm 5 days post op today - and had some cottage cheese today and it wasn't a good idea! Also struggling to get the 64oz of liquids in - warm tea has been good along with some broth - but I'm tired of the same foods everyday! Glad there are others going through the same challenges!

      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.
