Ok now I’ve been eating yogurts constantly like about 3 or 4 a day and small pieces of baked chicken, is that bad? It’s like I get hungry every couple hours and I know it’s not real hunger so I try to ignore it and drink Water.< /p>

102316..Where are you in your journey? It's hard to give advice when we don't know where you're at. Your profile says you are pre-op, but it sounds like you may be post -op now. If you are post op you should have instructions from your surgeon on your diet progression over the weeks post op.

I don't know what your specific plan calls for, so you should refer to your NUT on whether it is okay to be eating meat at this point. As far as having 4 servings of yogurt per day goes, it really depends on type of yogurt and the amount that you are consuming. I would try to eat the lowest sugar greek yogurt that you could find. I don't tend to eat it at all, because even the lowest sugar yogurt I can find has too much for my taste.

Your overall numbers for the day are what matters. Are you getting enough Protein, calories low enough, getting all the right Vitamins and minerals (avoiding/minimizing sugar)

As long as you're doing that and not suffering any side effects/problems (ie nauseous vomiting pain ) then however you're doing it shouldn't really matter that much.

      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.
