I hear you. I thought, I had researched and investigated but I have learned so much in the last year, it’s unbelievable. Surgery Dec 5th I have more Water to pickup this week since my tap is definitely never on my go to list. But otherwise, I might need to order some Protein but doubt it. I am prepped what should be near 6 week. Post I have 1-2 clear and 2 full followed by purée for 1-2. Because of other issues it will be more of a food trial but I will be wiser at the end.

A lot better than I thought! Never a problem but come to a point over a week never hungry. Starting to dislike Protein Drinks, guess a couple weeks. But I have been avoiding cream of wheat oatmeal pudding and flavored tuna. Well today, gave in first time I had been hungry.Only had a bout 3 ounces. Adding collagen and Protein to all my drinks and egg whites. Now pudding tuna egg whites cream o wheat and oatmeal are no no’s post op.
After Thursday, I have 4 more weeks liquid Whoopi 2 clear 2 full I am going to forget how to chew.

I am December 2 at Kaiser Northern California. I thought I would have to go on a liquid diet but Kaiser doesn’t require that - they let you eat up to 8 hours prior to surgery! They said it is easier for the body to heal after surgery. Definitely thankful.

      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.
