Off the hand I would say no, but my honest opinion would be to ask your surgeon, only reason I say no is because your stomach is somewhat sensitive at this point. Any foods not on the "list" are subject to possibly irritate your stomach and start bouts of diarrhea. Once you start going you will not be able to hydrate enough and will have to go to the ER in order to get fluids by IV. I unknowingly had a Protein Shake that had something that was not on my list, for the next day and a half I had the runs, I ended up having to go the the fire house and get some supplies so my wife could start an IV on me and give me fluids. My blood pressure dropped and I could barely get out of bed without almost passing out. Just call the office and ask and they will advise you, lets just say that the "extra ingredient" was not worth the issues it caused me!

It's not our opinion that counts, but your surgeon's and staff. That would have been fine on our program (it was specifically on their recommended list for the first month) but may not be for other programs, so it's best to check with them if it wasn't specified in your handouts.

      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.
