IMHO you are not getting in enought Protein !!!!! Did your doctor/nutristions tell you - that you need minimun 60 grams of Protein a day.

I know that you don't want to loose your hair or get manutristioned (sp)

and not heal properly... You need protein,....

You need to add Protein powder to your inst bf - lunch protein - dinner protein -

I was on full liquids 4 day out - but when I was on mushie I had oatmeal w/pt pdr - lunch Soup w/pt pd - dinner fish (mashed up) - yogurt for Snacks (5 grm) plus my dr sells clear Protein drinks that are great - peach mango - grape - punch etc. they have 70 c and 15 grms pt...

Girl you need to get that protein in - I an not playing here you need protein!!!

Why dont you guys speak up?? You are choosing the doctor you go to, arent you?? Go to another doctor, one that is willing to do what you want..

They work for us, not the other way around. If the first one isnt going to do it....i'm certain there is another compentent doctor around the corner

      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.
