I microwaved the vegetables in the Water and then used a hand blender to “purée” them, then put them through a cheese cloth (paper towel works well too) to take extra moisture out. From there they were easy to form (keep some moisture in so they form) and put them in a pan with Pam, salt for flavour... not too bad. Plus it kept me busy instead of thinking of other food

I'll have to try it. My last dinner attempt was a fail so I ended up eating some air-fried Brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze. Have you weighed yourself today? It's a week out from our surgery. I lost 9 lbs so far.

I did weigh myself, only down .3 today, but still down. I’ve also lost 9lbs since starting my shakes. I think it’s the Water weight.

I have never lost 9 lbs. in a week so I'll take. Any loss is a plus. Wishing you a successful 2nd week!

I know what you mean! Never have I ever lost this much in a week. And what’s crazy is I’m not even hungry!

Thank you. I hope so. Today was better, but I still don’t feel like drinking anything. I hope this passes soon

Have you thought about putting something into your drinks to make it a little more appealing?

Before I was able to be discharged, my surgeon made me drink 1 oz over 30 minutes, walk and urinate, and drink 1 ox over 10 minutes for an hour at a time (60oz at 1 oz every 10 minutes). It was not pleasant, but 10 days post I am progressing very well.

My surgery is scheduled for 12/28. I’m on pre op for three weeks and doing great. But there is a chance that COVID numbers will delay my surgery due to hospital needs. I’m praying it doesn’t.

      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.
