If you need to get more Protein in you can do a chicken bone broth instead of regular broth. It’s not so yummy (salty...yuck...too much flavor for me) but has lots of Protein, is thin like broth, can be made warm and doesn’t get bogged down like shakes.

I was also allowed thinned cream of wheat or rice in the first two weeks. My surgeon had same diet for sleeve and bypass.

Best wishes.
That sounds pretty cool I’ll try to see if I can tolerate that. I know I’m going to need the protein since I haven’t been taking in much just Water and sugar free Jell-O

I am in the same situation. I had the sleeve in 2014, and converted to bypass on 6/26. There were no classes beforehand, no handouts, no pre-op diet, etc. I see my surgeon tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been doing Protein Shakes, Protein Water, and sugar free popsicles.
I wish you can get some Protein and I haven’t had much luck with that only Water and sometimes sugar-free Jell-O I’ve lost 13 pounds in the last week. And I see my surgeon on Monday I don’t think it’s a good thing

I don't know if this will help or if you'll even be able to read these, but here are photos of the stages of eating I got from my office. My surgeon and nutritionist are considered very conservative and use the same plan for sleeve and bypass patients. I am not endorsing anyone's use of this material. Just posting them for you to see.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
