I remember that feeling. I had to do liquids for 3 weeks post-op because I won't eat any of the carb-laden foods (e.g., ripe banana, cream of wheat, etc.) that they would let me have after 2 weeks. By the end of that time, I was so over it. But, I tried to look at it as a character building experience.

Hang in there!

I know. I hate being whiny. I'm having a low day. I feel hungry and Protein Shakes are grossing me out. I just have to suck it up but I'm still going to ask (beg) to move forward. Three weeks of full liquids is rough!

Does your plan let you do the strained creamed Soup? Having that (with unflavored Protein Powder stirred in) was a lifesaver for me during the last 2 of those 3 weeks. Because of the carbs, I would only let myself have it once per day (maybe twice, I can't remember), but it made a huge difference.

It does. I've had Tomato and it was delish. Today it gagged me. I had butternut squash but the sugars were high so I didn't have any more. I have some cream of wheat I might try. It's not on my list but I see people making it watered down. Yay! Now I'm happy!

Haha, yeah, I hear you. I told my surgeon (yes told, did not ask) that I was ending my post-op clear liquid BS after 10 days. He actually agreed and said it was fine. I think it was along the lines of I either end the diet or I end you. :D

What foods did you move on to? Clear Liquids? Yikes. I was cleared for full liquids after two days. I don't blame you.

Yeah it was moving onto things like yogurt/refried beans/cottage cheese. Was done with broth/sf jello/sf pops.

I'm so sick of shakes and yogurt. Two weeks out and I have my follow up in two days. I'm asking (begging) to be released to puréed foods. People's lives depend on it!




I hear you sister!! Started putting PB in my shake bc I can't stand the flavor anymore. So sick of Soups too. Today I'm allowed to start purees and have my first follow up with surgeon. Cannot wait! How've you been doing as far as losing? I feel like I've stalled, was losing about 1lb a day and it just stopped when I began adding in full liquids. Feeling frustrated.

      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.
