I really like Odwalla Protein chocolate drink...It makes me feel full. I am sure you are tired of Protein Shakes by now but I buy these at my local convenient store and they really taste like chocolate milk. Hope this helps.

Egg drop Soup. Make it from scratch or buy the mix in the asian isle at your grocers. The Protein satiates.

I wish I had advice for you. My first fill is in two weeks and I'm a little worried myself. You can do it!! 3 days will fly by. Hang in there. It will be SO worth it!

I felt the same after my fill. Here i had done the liquid diet three weeks before surgery and two weeks after with no complaint. After my fill I was freaking starving! Felt way worse to me. Maybe cause I thought that part was behind me? U will get thru it tho as we all do hehe. 26 lbs loss in three weeks is soooo worth it!

I am right there with you guys...I am a week and a half post op and no fills for a few more weeks. I can have solids but I am starving. I guess bc I am eating the recommended foods and Protein and carbs that my surgeon told me to but I still have room in my stomach since the swelling went down. I was miserable last week but not hungry at all...I kind of miss that!

Soups, watery cream of wheat, Jello. I like to add extra Protein to my protein drinks after a fill. One way I do this is to blend in some low fat Peanut Butter or PB2. After a fill I also eat regular yogurt (not greek - too thick) without any fruit in it.

I bought the Special K chocolate Protein shakes..then I mixed in some chocolate whey Protein Powder. It has no taste but it doesnt blend smoothly..its kinda chunky but the chunks break down in your mouth..it sounds weird but it was soooooo good. It was like drinking a super thick chocolate shake but not swallowing one..if that makes sense..lol.

It sounds like you're feeling better, but I also wanted to let you know that split pea Soup (cambells even) has a lot of Protein and is pretty low cal. I ate it alot post op. I eat the greek yogurt post fill now, also, if you're concerned about the thickness, add some milk and blend it together.

Only a day and a half and just think of the boost in weight loss!!! :D

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
