LOL, so true. Those were both foods I ate when I got the OK. When I could eat a bit more solid stuff I started adding tiny pieces of broccoli to the Campbell's cheese Soup. I still eat that. It tastes so much better than soup that already has broccoli in it.

You can make it Steven!!!

I LOVE Cream of Rice. I still eat it about three times a week. Breakfast is always difficult because I am real tight but the Cream of Rice always goes down fine.

I'm looking so forward to cream of wheat, I think it may be my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm so ready for some real food!! lol. All of these food commercials are driving me crazy!!

Steven, here's a bit of motivation to help you make it through: After my surgery, my surgeon had me on liquid diet for THREE WEEKS!!! No pudding, nothing creamed, mushed, or pureed. It was either "liquid you can see through" or Protein shakes without anything added to it. Three longgg weeks of liquid misery. Absolute hell. You don't need to ask me how that first "real" meal tasted when I was finally able to move ahead! LOL!

Hang tough, guy. You'll get there.

Steven, maybe this will motivate you. I have to wait 6 months to get surgery. I've been in the "process" since January. I haven't gotten a date yet and I have 6 months pre op diet to go through. I have to try to diet but make sure not to lose too much weight. I am still binge eating, I still feel out of control. I'd give anything if I could get a doctor who would put restrictions on me that I would HAVE to stop eating. Feel fortunate that you are more than on your way to a healthier you. I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad just to help you put things into perspective.

Good luck..but you'll make it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
