Are you eating anything else with your Protein? If you're doing this already, Feel free to ignore this post... ;)

Try adding some vegetables. The fibrous veggies will help fill space in your stomach. It will help to make you feel full and satisfied. What is your calorie intake at this point of surgery? Are you getting in small Snacks?

omelet with green & red peppers a bit of sweet onion and cheese.

chicken with steamed broccoli.

Cobb salad.

@@DMH82, have you considered going hungry for a few days in order to shrink your tummy?

Perhaps a few days of something much like the pre-op full liquid diet could help reset your stomach. Yes, it sucks, but it is a much better & shorter hardship to endure than gaining the weight back.

      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.
