I make thinned mash potatos with a little bit of butter. I use all of the liquid and only half of the instant potatos required. It is like potato Soup but it feels a little thicker. It has been helping me get through this liquid stage. I use all skim milk instead of any Water.< /p>

If you have a Trader Joe's near you...try the Tomato and red pepper Soup (not spicy-sweet) and a big spoonful of low fat ricotta cheese in it....yummy!

I have about 8 days left too. I'm not allowed riccotta or cottage cheese yet though. This helped me to mix it up a little: I made a variation of Cauliflower Soup. I boiled a head of cauliflower, put it in a strainer to drain. In the hot pot I added 1 Tablespoon olive oil and about 1 Tablespoon dehydrated onion. You can use fresh if you want, I just happen to have the dehydrated on hand. I added 2 cups skim milk, then poured in about 1/2 cup skim milk with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with it. Brought it to a boil (that's when it thickens) added the Cauliflower back, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Then used a hand blender and completely liquified it. You can pour it in a blender if you don't have the hand held one. It was a nice change from chicken broth. Now if anyone can tell me when this gas pain in my shoulders will go away, that would give me a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hmmm! That sounds tasty -- I'm going to try it! :thumbup:

OMG-- I thought it was just me ..

I am soooo sick of Soup, Jello and juice drinks. This morning . DH made a scrambled egg, then put it thru the food processor. I had 1 tablespoon of egg and it was pure heaven. I am drinking Protein shots, but it does not seem to be enough to keep me from getting the shakes.

This one ounce every 15 min is a major pain in the @$$. I think more about food now then I ever have.. Setting the little timer every 15 min is really wearing on my last nerve.

      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.
