Hi! How many days after my surgery should I be ok to try this? I'm at day 5 and am doing well with Jello & Atkins Protein Shakes.

first stage is Clear Liquids, next stage is full liquids, 3rd stage is soft foods. I would guess this is more of a soft food, but it would depend on if you were able to liquefy it. I am 8 days out and just started full liquids today

When you will be okay to try anything new is up to you, as no 2 people are exactly alike. My advice would be not to rush anything. The goal of bariatric surgery is not to see how soon you can start eating again. The idea is to completely change your habits. Thinking that there is something that you have to try is an old habit, even if that thing is completely fine for you to eat. You are 5 days out. Relax. Give it time.

Good advice. I'm just not eating enough Protein right now because I can't stomach 3 Protein Shakes a day, so was hoping I'd have more success if I tried to mix it up. Good to wait though.

      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.
