Quick question for the liquid diet...I eat Jello and somewhat painful when swallowing... drink my shake and the bubbles that form at the top hurts as well when swallowing am I doing something wrong like is this normal??? Anyone with this experience go see the doc Monday but just wondering if anyone has experienced this as well after being sleeved.

I was sleeved on the same day as you!! I think with the Jello, you have to make sure you chew it up a lot before you swallow -- turning it to liquid instead of just swallowing bites of it. That works for me really well. As for the shake, just make sure to take really small sips, I think? Or, alternately, make your shake and then leave it in the fridge for 20 min before you drink it, allowing the air to escape from the bubbles, since probably the thing that's causing you pain is the trapped bubbles~

yeah, the Jello liquified at body temperature, so leave in your mouth longer. As for the shake, too much air in it? The premade Premerire Proteins were great, no bubbles. Like Brandies said, if you use a blender or anything adding air, stay one ahead. Drink the one from the fridge and make one and put it in the fridge to replace it. Also, that third or fourth sip is gonna get you, sometimes, bubbles or not. Look at your index(pointy) finger. that's about all you have to fill up!

I try to smash it up as much as I can before swallowing it but will try keeping get it a Lil more liquidity before swallowing. As for the shakes yes that exactly what's causing the pain after making it in the blender the bubbles that accumulate at the top is what I'm typically drinking first of course with small sips. Thank you

      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.
