Thanks guys! Yes, I do tend to obsess over the scale. I guess I've been burned so many times by diets that failed that I'm worried this will just be another disappointment. I will tuck it under my bed and forget it is there for a while! Out of sight, out of mind, right? It is very encouraging to have found a forum like this and to connect with people who have been where I am right now! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!

FluffyChix, you are awesome! What great ideas!!! I've asked my Bariatric team on several occasions for ideas to make it less tedious and they came up empty handed. I particularly love the Asian soup idea and am going to try it tonight Thanks!!!

I feel you, Chas74! I am 6 days post op and in the "Full Liquids" phase for another 10 days--and I was on liquids for 2 weeks pre op. I too am so tired of liquids. Did you try tomato soup with a dollop of plain Fage Greek yogurt in? Also, my doc said I could have some very thin cream of wheat. Also, sugar free pudding is a nice treat that is permitted on Full Liquids. They also suggested putting a dollop of low-sugar smooth peanut butter in your smoothie, blending it very well, to give your taste buds some variety as well. Good luck and just remember, it will ALL be worth it! Counting the days until puree...
