can we refrain from blatant advertising do you think?

What's on my menu for today?

Um, I had oatmeal with sultanas and cinnamon for Breakfast

Just had a corned beef and pickle sandwich and a yogurt for lunch

chicken chow mein for dinner tonight.

I will NOT eat between meals today! I've been shocking lately. Probably because if I can eat a sandwich and a yogurt all within an hour I probably need some fill. Not sure.

Enough advertising already. There are hundreds of Protein products on the market.

First off, though, have you been banded, or are you pre-band? What type of liquid diet are you on? We need a bit more information about what your needs are before giving advice...

Oh, sorry, you were asking about liquids, stupid me. Here I am just tempting you with things, lol.

When I was on liquids, I blended up real food. I didnt live on Protein shakes (although I had them then as I wasnt eating a lot of anything). but I made really good hearty Soups full of Pasta, meat, lentils and veg and I blended those up, I'd blend yogurt and fruit together with some bran in it too for a smoothie with some fibre, and for some carbs for energy. I even blended up my Christmas dinner with extra chicken stock!

I found liquids really easy and honestly, I lost tons of weight in that time, eating well didnt stop me losing.

I take my coffee in the morning mix it with a vanilla Protein drink and add lots of sugar free french vanilla coffee mate.

I use same Protein and add some canned peaches and peach yogurt and creamer.

I'm wanting something warm so I will puree some Soup and add some plain protein mix to that. I'll let you know how it works.

Careful with the coffee mate! It gives me the trots if I have more than a couple of servings in a day. sugar free or regular versions both do this to me. ;)

      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.
