Talk with your dietician. She comes along with the process too. I had a eating plan in my booklet. I got a booklet that told me every 2 to 3 weeks what to eat...

there a lots of blogs out there done by post ops. Two of my favorites are Bariatric Foodie and The World According to Eggface. Lots of food ideas/recipes.

I also agree with talking to your dietician - they should have provided some guidance regarding post op eating even for once on you are on to normal solid foods.

I think there is even a recipe section on here somewhere.

Read read read. Out depends on what you're looking for , i think, I'm not sleeved yet but I'm looking at Snacks and different foods for later.

Read labels. I've found that plant products Are much higher in Protein than any others. I've picked up some edemmame dried and sea salted, they've got 20 g Protein per serving, and they're CRUNCHY!

      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.
