The best way to add it to warm or hot items is to make a slurry first. Just add enough Water to liquify then it won't clump when you add it. Luckily someone mentioned that at my last support group before the surgery.

Steve, not a fan of shrimp but the broccoli cheese sounds good. I’ve made a couple Protein Shake mixes that have been pretty good. First is a double shot of Decaf espresso in a thing of premier chocolate Protein with ice. It tastes like a mocha latte. It’s just really filling. Also done a strawberry protein shake with collagen and PB2 and some SF strawberry Syrup that was pretty good. I only drank half but with the collagen and PB2 half was 24g protein.

It sounds like everyone is doing great. I'm pretty bummed that I'm still using the pain medication when it sounds like everyone was able to stop already. I've had surgeries in the past and always been off quick but plain tylenol doesn't do anything. I'm really missing ibuprofen :( On the positive I've been hitting my Protein and liquid goals, and I pooped :)

I’m still on pain meds too, only because the largest incision still hurts a lot. I’m hoping I can get off of them tomorrow. Still swollen too. But, that’s my only complaint so far!

      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.
