1 box sugar free pudding
2 cups skim milk
2 scoops 60g Protein powder

Mix chocolate Protein Powder with the milk and mix well then follow the directions for the instant sugar free pudding box

I usually make this last 2 days so I get 60g protein each day

I also eat scrambled eggs, usually 1/2 to 1 egg

Broiled fish
Chicken salad with light mayo
Egg salad light mayo
Lots of sugar free popsicles
Fat free cheese sticks
Natural apple sauce
Organic 3 Beans in can
Cottage cheese
But I only eat about 1/4 cup at a time

      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.
