Getting ready to start my pureed food stage. Any good ideas / recipes for me???

It's here!! Surgery day!! Of course I'm awake an hour before my alarm goes off, not surprising... Here we go!!!

Dec 3rd here, my diet is same as Lisa's, except I can't do the Jello... GROSS!! I hate it with red hot passion hehe, it's a texture thing... I anticipate some challenges when I get to my pureed diet since I don't do weird textures very well Will be very interesting!!

Today is day 8 and I'm not hungry at all, just nauseous today... Oh God, hope I'm not catching something Maybe it's just my Protein shakes starting to gross me out hehehehe...

No surgery yet I'm scheduled for Dec 3rd.

Day 5 of 14 pre-op liquid diet... Well, I'm down 5 pounds, no cheating, and I'm not starving. I am, however, tired and lethargic... I feel like I could sleep all day every day. Anyone else in their pre-op? Do you feel this way?

im on day 5 as well, and also down 5 pounds!! Yay!!

Good luck on your decision It was the hardest and best decision of my life and I'm so excited about it.

I gave up caffeine when I first started my 3-month supervised diet so that I wouldn't have to deal with the headaches late in the game. Thankful that I did that !!! Good luck and can't wait to hear how things are going

Well, I'm on day 3 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I can honestly say that finally today, I don't want to pull someones head off or gnaw on my own arm to survive Seriously though, I'm doing fairly well and not starving. I think I'm starting to adjust and making good progress. How is everyone else doing?

I'm strictly on clear liquids and protein shakes so it pretty much blows. I went to kneaders today and asked for chicken noodle soup with just broth. Tasted good, ate it with a shake. 2 days down...

lucky!! I can't have any solid food except Popsicles.

Just strained some progreso chicken orzo soup with lemon and just ate the broth. Very tasty. 2 protein shares, 2 hot teas, and lots of water. So far so good.

Yeah, I'm preparing meals for family as well. Just keep thinking about the end results and we will get through this. Good luck!

you guys are awesome!! Thanks!!
