What seasonings can you not live without post surgery? Give me a few ideas of seasonings I need to stock up on before I have surgery here in a few weeks. Those things that you use on everything that you cook that makes food taste amazing?

Curry powder, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, garlic and onion powder for almost everything, ginger, pumpkin spice for homemade shakes, once you get to solids again try dukkah seasoning.

I'm also using a southwest chili Protein Powder from the BariatricPal Store for tossing veggies in before baking or sautéing. So good!

Creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's), Everything Bagel (Sam's Choice), Garlic salt with parsley (Lawry's) and dill weed.

I recently bought a bunch of seasonings from Flavor God. Nacho cheese is good on pureed refried Beans and mashed cauliflower. Buttered cinnamon roll is good on applesauce (helps to cover up the taste of the GENEPRO Protein powder I add to is). pizza is good on the famous ricotta bake. I also bought everything seasoning, taco Tuesday, and lemon garlic but haven't tried them yet.

I like sugar-free caramel Syrup in applesauce and tea. And I like to mix chocolate protein powder and PB2 powdered Peanut Butter into Oikos Triple Zero yogurt.

WOW we all are in the same group - Cajun and Mojo

I am a trained chef but for some reason since the surgery go to the two above the most. One other new one in my army of rubs, sauces and spices is Smoked Salts! Never really used it pre Op but now love it

You might want to wait until post op. Your taste buds change a bit. I'm over a month out and sweet smells and sweet foods still make me nauseated.

      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.
