Omg Ashleymuddah. I want to apologize for the comments you received. You are 100% correct this is about support and if you are doing the wrong thing then it could be said in a different and more understanding manner. I have not had my surgery yet so I cannot answer your question but no one on this site, should be spoken to as you. I wish you luck and please share what the outcome is from your Dr. Appt.. Its responses like you received that discourage people from posting and I wish you nothing but the best. Kindle had some good reasons but his delivery lacked and Stacy's comment is just obnoxious and disheartening. So Ashleymuddah I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to getting through this together.

Thank you so much!! I spoke with the nutritionist this Morning and she gave me some great advice! I switched back to the bariatric shakes and lots of G2. She even said If I use my fine strainer I can have broccoli and cheddar soup' I had a much better say today. Thank you for the kind words and positivity @@jenetts

I was sleeved on 5/3, I have been sticking to the liquid diet and I haven't been able to make my Protein or my Water for that matter. I am never hungry and feel full very quickly. The NP called today to check in with me and she said I had the option of adding cottage cheese, yogurt, and egg whites in to my diet if I wanted. I was to nervous to try though :/ I totally understand being over the shakes though lol! I hope things get better for you.

I was sleeved the same day and am looking forward to hearing I can eat eggs. So over shakes already. They're fine to use intermittently but exclusively notsomuch :)

My follow up appt is tomorrow, so here's hoping ...

I too had a hard time on my first week... The shakes started to make me sick or maybe I was just sick of them... I do remember that I was very depressed in my first week... I cried a lot, asking myself if I did the right thing and if this is all I'm supposed to eat for the rest of my life.... Thank Goodness my Bariatrician only had me on liquid diet for a week....then on soft foods up to the 4th week... Just remember that you're doing this for a reason... To get healthier, we have to make little sacrifices.

      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.
