Today isn't so hard for me only because I don't feel good. I'm on the full liquid diet this week and next week yet but I've cheated once or twice with food that was soft. I put my husbands spaghetti in the blender lastnight and ate 1/2 cup of it.....it went down fine had no problems but today my stomach is just upset and I am not hungry. I'm also having trouble getting Protein in. I have the powder but I am so sick of it I can barely smell it without gagging. So the 64g I'm supposed to get a day is only 13-23g I'd say. Ugh my first follow up appt is Tuesday and I'm supposed to be doing a food log and I haven't even done it because it's a hit and miss if I eat. I can't eat as much as the sample logs are their like every hour

I'm doing well with it for the most part. Today had Turkey and green Beans a bite of potato salad mostly egg though. It went down well and I was surprised. Most chicken and Turkey gets stuck. How are you?

Hi Everyone tomorrow will be my 10th day out Surgery date was 11/18/16. I would say the hardest thing has been the nausea. I am on full liquids now and the Protein shakes and milk made me nautious at this point most things make me nautious but I'm getting my fluids in. Any suggestions for the nausea?

      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.
