When I was three months out, I was still on soft foods (have to be able to cut easily with a fork), and ate according to the directions from my bariatric team:

--3 small meals per day

--no grains, starchy veggies, sweets, tropical fruits, or liquid calories other than Protein shakes

--minimum of 75 grams of Protein per day

--no Snacks other than Protein Shakes

So that basically meant lots of: meat, fish (especially tuna, salmon, sardine, shrimp, scallops, mackerel), eggs (every day!), avocado, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans, lentils, small amounts of nut butters. Those were the mainstays of my diet.

After six months I was allowed regular texture foods and added in green veggies such as asparagus, green Beans, and broccoli, as well as some fruit like apples and strawberries.

I still had the same dietary restrictions in terms of no grains, starchy veggies, sweets, liquid calories etc. until I completed weight loss phase. I stuck with the program and finished up 200 lbs lighter and at goal, so I think the plan my team gave me worked well for me :)

      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.
