What phase are you on? Full liquids?

We can't help you without more to go on. What do the instructions from your surgeon say, exactly? Postop instructions vary widely. You could be on either Clear Liquids, full liquids, or even purees at this stage.

You're only 1 week out. Yogurt, soft-cooked scrambled eggs, perhaps a *small portion* of well cooked spinach/ricotta ravioli... I know the routine can be monotonous, but be patient.

It sounds like you need to read your packet.

I read mine multiple times a day for a good month. If you are confused about your program: 1) read the materials provided by your surgeon/NUT and 2) if you are still confused, call and ask.

My packet says 1 week of Clear Liquids, 2nd week is full liquids like Protein shakes but no soft foods or puree until after week 3 so I guess it varies a lot. I'm surprised some people are saying eggs and such it's still so sore for me to swallow even liquids. Then again I did have a large hiatal hernia repair done at the same time too so not sure if that's why my doctor wants to be extra careful.

My postop transitions were a lot more conservative than some of the others posted here....

1-3 days Clear liquid

4-18 days Full liquids

19-29 days pureed food

30-42 days soft food

42+ Days regular food except seeds, skins, nuts and other crunchy stuff which were forbidden until 3 months

I actually transitioned slower than the above plan to allow my sleeve plenty of time to heal and get used to different foods. made for a very easy recovery.

As you can see there are very different plans, so If you don't understand the information given to you, definitely call your nut or surgeon.

      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.
