Egg drop Soup became my new best friend today. That and a drained French onion soup with kimchi broth mixed.

So I talked to my surgeon and told him I'm getting less than 200 calories a day. He said he wouldn't worry about calories right now and just focus on staying hydrated and Protein. He said the Soups that you guys suggested are probably ok but everything else is not and to stick to the book I was given. I can't stand most things from the book anymore but I will stick too it. I'm nothing if I'm not stubborn so I will deal with it till I get to the next phase.

Hi. I had my surgery on 6/13 as well and can only drink about 8oz of Water. A few bites of food here and there. I have lost about 25lbs, but I think a stall is coming soon because I'm not able to eat a lot. I would love to hear how your doing with food and weight loss.

Surgery was 6/21 and I'm like you, I'm already over my Soups and broths. I like to cook real food so I jumped to soft foods early but now I regret it because I gained 2 pounds. My doctor said it was a bit early to move to soft foods so I decided to give the liquids/soups another try for 2 more weeks.

My favs so far have been the sugar free Popsicles and Hot and Sour Soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant. I might try the potato flakes with chicken broth as well.

Being a foodie, this is going to be a tough journey but with this support, I know I can make it through it. You will too

      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.
