I am a liquid diet and it is killing me I haven't checked my weight since surgery but I am sure I have lost another 15-20 pounds. I am having a hard time getting a whole Protein Shake down. I am tired of drink chicken, turkey and beef broth. Does anyone have any suggestions? I had chicken Soup was able to stomach a small chicken chunk after chewing for awhile.

Well... I had the same issue. The Protein shakes I purchased from the doctor... ugh. I can't get passed the smell let alone the taste. Someone suggested adding a bit of Peanut Butter Protein powder, but it didnt work. At some point now i will try them again, but maybe double the amount of Fluid for just have the package. So after only 5 days on thick and thin fluids, I had to go back to Atkins shakes which I could tolerate, cream Soups, Fairfield milk, cottage cheese, and baby food. Then I tried the Healthy Wise Protein Soups and was able to stomach them a lot easier.

Consult with your doctor and listen to your new tummy.

Premier Protein are by far the best tasting Protein shakes!(in my opinion) they don't have that gnarly protein after taste..

      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.
