I'm 6 weeks out post op. Think I'm gonna have to start drinking more Protein shakes. Can't hardly eat anything before I'm completely full. Tonight..a tiny piece of roll, 2 fried shrimp and almost half a baked potato...I'm not sick, but full...so, back to shakes I go I guess.

The fact that you are eating bread and potatoes gives me pause. You should be eating p rotein, not carbs. And vegetables, after you've eaten your p rotein (if you even have room). Carbs should be at the very bottom of a list of things to eat.

Drinking shakes to supplement protein is fine. You may want to eat protein rich foods and not the roll or even potato. Rolls expand in your stomach and will fill you up and won't let you eat enough protein.

Also not being critical -- you should talk to your nut. My carbs come from veggies -- never a potato or fish with breading -- my Dr. would rather me have shrimp sautéed in butter than breaded and fried. Always Protein first and sometimes only -- according to my doctor. Sleeved on 6/1/2016. good luck!

The shakes are fine to go back to if you are not getting enough Protein in.. Just try to eat the Protein at meals first..I would probably really try to stay away from anything fried and any extra carbs though, we all know how hard this is.. Good luck

I rarely do hard carbs. I had roasted sweet potatoes but had no room after my salmon. So i don't waste my time now. Protein or nothing! Its hard enough to get that in so I can't fool with nothing else. 8 weeks post op.

      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.
