Tried a Protein Shake today two days ahead of schedule.My nurse said depending on how we felt to give it a shot and I drank the whole think and felt great after.I went to the gym and stretched and walked for 10 min on the treadmill then went grocery shopping with the wife.Inhave a gnawing hungry feeling like I'm ready to try some creamy Soup or yogurt but I don't want to push it.I got a little tired after about 3/4 of the shopping so I'm sitting down writing you guys.Ive spoken to a bunch of my boys that had this procedure and asked them if they are eating what they want and after 3-4 months you're on your own kinda just figuring your own limits.For me patience is the key cause I'm ready to test the waters but everyone tells me.....be careful...It hurts.Hope you guys are all well.

I was given a protien shake the next day, I'm not real enthused about them. Honestly I'm still not able to intake all the protien or Water. I try, but unsuccessful. Like you, I can't wait till I can have Soups and mashed potatoes. Yum. Most everyone I've spoke to eat what they want within the first few months with the exception of red meat like steak. I'm not going to test the waters, to afraid of the consequences.

      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.
