The liquid diet was easier on pre-op. It's hard on full liquids on post op. I'm on day six. I had to have food. It was only scrambled eggs with cheese. My stomach is happy. It sent the full signal. I had three teaspoons. I will not go overboard

TRY TO AVOID SOLID FOODS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A LEAK

WHATEVER YOU EAT WILL NOT BE WORTH IT IF YOU CAUSE A LEAK.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME TOO AFTER THE SURGERY, BUT YOU CAN DO IT

I feel u! But....be careful!

I found out alotta my belly rumbling for hunger was gas. I tried 2eat solids...thought i could till i puked...NOT a good feeling!

I started making those Green smoothies (spinach, kale, mustard greens plus frozen pineapple &berries &lemon juice 2hide the taste) and now I get FULL!

Try that. I got tired of Protein powdered meals too....im 3wks post op. I feel ur pain. Discovered the green smoothies work abt 10days out &it has really helped. ????

And not just green....other homemade smoothies are good too...but that green really fills &stops that hunger with really low carb &the greens have "some" Protein. Also found some stuff at Walmart called "Live fit vegan Protein powder" in the baking isle. I tried that in Tomato Soup (eww...too thick) so 2day imma try it in a smoothie....see if thats better.

Advancing your food stages isn't a good idea, but do you.

Advance my diet because the nurse and nut told me to purée in a week. I am officially 1week out

      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.
