Hello :)

I finally get to move on to the next stage now - it week 3 so that means that i can progress from liquids to soft foods.

I'm a bit scared that i will put weight on. Can you pls help me by giving me some meal ideas.

For example what type of vegetables can i have with my main meals??? and is there anything i should stay off?

Also would corned beef be classed as soft food?

i would be really grateful for your advise, tips and meal ideas. Thank you!

I will be starting soft foods tomorrow, too. I was told any canned meat is soft enough for this stage. Also most fish is soft enough to eat now. Fibrous veggies like salads, celery, green Beans, etc. are still no-nos. Carrots are ok if cooked well, as are peas. Most Beans are good, too. I found a recipe for fish cakes made with white beans instead of potatoes and I'm going to make that tomorrow for my first "real" meal. I'm so sick of soft, yucky mush and my teeth are dying to chew. It's been at the point yesterday and today that I don't even want to eat because none of the mushies even look appetizing to me. Just the thought of eating anything mushy makes me want to puke.

Right now my son is making a venison stew for my husband for dinner tonight. I'm glad I don't like venison or I'd be jonesing to have some as well. I told my husband I was going to pick up a pint of wonton Soup and chop the wontons up into tiny pieces and he said "no - you're not supposed to eat real food until tomorrow". I don't understand what difference 12 hours makes, since I'll be trying an egg for Breakfast tomorrow.

      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.
