Jealous!! I'm one week too but was told one more week of full liquids. I'm so ready for eggs! I dreamed last night my mom made brownies and I got to lick the spoon lol. I'm so ready for mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs (not together of course) lol. Enjoy!

It's amazing how much food we DONT need, but now appreciate the tastes and texture! I have scrambled eggs with refried Beans mashed up, with hot sauce, it's pretty good!

I know!! I was thinking about what my meals were before, it's crazy.

I start soft food tomorrow! Excited to try eggs :D they are probably my favorite food.

I thought about the taste of food when I was on low carb diet.....I tasted everything for the first time instead of bite and swallow!! Now I will be ready to taste my food in a couple of weeks when i can have soft food! Surgery went well today and I was released to go home in a few hours. My daughter tells me I told the anesthesiologist that I just loved him!!! ....when i went under. LOL :lol:

I'm pretty excited to start mushy soft foods on January 3. I'm nervous about what it will feel like. Will I know that I am full? I need some great ideas. Grits sound kind of good. My guidelines say liquids for two weeks, so I'm starting to feel like a vampire...for food.

i really eat slow because i dont want to get overly full and i feel how it goes down. the last thing i want is an episode of any kind. what i do find myself doing is eating too quickly. i have to really so down more. i do still suplement my plan with a Protein Drink. now at this time i can consume carbs as long i dont crazy. so i mix my Protein with an instant Breakfast mix with ff milk. now that gives me 37 Proteins but also 39 carbs. i will not be able to do this after i really begin eating food. so instead of an instant breakfast with my protein i will prolly use chick or beef broth. lower caloric intake great flavor and low to no carbs. my protein is tastless and blends really well. the broth looks like a thin gravy. but my doc said i could eat as long as the consumption is low which it is not taking much to feel me up and i have not been snacking between meals. i feel very blessed. i get great advise from this site and bareatriceating.com. so listen to your body to determine your fullness. Good Luck and Happy New Year!:D

      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.
