Finally something besides a shake. I am so excited to be able to eat again. Wasn't supposed to start until today but did eat last night. And I haven't felt this good since surgery, I think it was the milk in the shakes. I have felt this chest pain like a burp waiting but now not so much. Grits this am but on 2g of Protein so I added an am snack of yogurt for 6g and that only puts me behind 7g from where I like to be in the am.

:laugh:

Ah, yes-- I remember how much I was looking forward to eating some cottage cheese during the last few days of my liquid phase. Anything that I could use a spoon with made me happy! It's so funny....

Same here, just to be able to chew, even if it wasn't really chewing! I was just so tired of just swollowing my food!!! Soup is good, but man you need some real food every once in a while!

Eight more days until mushies for me! I'm already composing the sonnet in my head over my first bite of...well, anything really. I'm doing remarkably fine on liquids but I won't lie, the sound of grits, cottage cheese, yogurt, mashed potatoes - it all sounds so wonderful!

I kinda love that I'm "detoxing" my body from food in a way, and then slowly reintroducing the things that I love that are healthy. I just feel like I'll be able to appreciate the little things that much more, rather than just eating quickly and in the biggest portions possible.

      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.
