check out my blog link below for how to make a slimfast shake taste like a frappuccino! also, sugarfree hot cocoa is always yummy!

What kind of stuff did your doctor say you could have? I am not even aloud to have Soup until week three, and I read a bunch of these forums and most ppl can have soup within a couple of weeks. I am so sick of Protein drinks, broth, and Water. Do you have any suggestions on how I can spice up my liquid meals?

Today makes my two week mark after surgery and I'm able to have: scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, cream Soups, tuna fish, stuff like this. After today I can start trying more solid foods... I read where one person said they were eating cream soups and scrambled eggs the day after surgery. WHAT? It is odd how doctors have so many different rules..

It is very odd how all doctors do things differently. My dieticians appear to be very strict. Today is my week one mark after surgery, but I go back on Friday. Hopefully at that point I can have different things. At this point I feel no restriction but then again I am on all liquids so I am starving all the time. I hope that when I start eating actual food I will notice. My surgeon put 2 ccs in my band at the time of surgery. Do you know how many ccs they put in on a fill?:)

      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.
