It was for me too but i learned hot liquids went down better so worked around it that way...try different temps..my nutritionist told me 40-50gm of Protein at this stage is plenty i avg 40-45 right now on a good day i can do over 50...i drink my Protein Shake in the morning as soon as i wake up...thats 24-26 right there with 4oz of water... And drink black tea Isopure or another shake later in the day...its the easiest for me...and when i eat..i will make some chicken or tuna and nurse it until im done....

Yeah the Isopure is 40gm a bottle!! So i drink half of one a day and my Protein shake boom met my goal...i must have tried every flavor of isopure and found the tea one...its the only one that dont have the nasty aftertaste to me and half a bottle is doable for me...takes me about 45 to drink half...so if u like at it that way very attainable goal....

My nutritionist said the 51+ gm of Protein this early is too much for our bodies to handle...and i agree! Make sure u take a stool softener or something... If u start taking in a lot of protein!

      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.
