You should try sugar free pudding or Light & Fit Greek Yogurt. You can make the pudding using Protein Shakes instead of milk to give you the added Protein as well. I was never a fan of Greek Yogurt, but the Light & Fit brand has so many different flavors to choose from that you can't even taste it. I struggled with the Puree and Soft Solids Phase of the diet so yogurt was my saving grace. I had my surgery on Jan. 27th, so you are not far behind me. Keep up the good work and remember that it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

It just was uncomfortable and hurt when I would try and eat. I got different advice/opinions about the situation as well. Suggesting that maybe my body now couldn't handle dairy, maybe I was eating foods with too much acidity, maybe I was eating too fast, etc. It would feel like heartburn or like a lot of pressure in my head when I would try to eat something new or different. I'm not sure how else to explain it. So I've become rather fond of yogurts, jellos, puddings, Soups, applesauce, and of course sugar free popsicles.

      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.
