I f you mix and blend your mushies well enough to go through a straw and still have problems, if you've had a fill, maybe you need

a little taken out. You really haven't given enough information about your problem for anyone to give you any meaningful advice.

I hope you can get help for this.

I'm 10 months out and I have never vomited. My band is basically empty though. If you vomit eating mushies then there is a problem, usually only if they filled your band intra op

Sheriah, I think you may be worrying unnecessarily. Just start slow with a few small bites from a baby spoon. You should be fine. We all have to go through this stage and do it. You can too. Just take your time and small small bites. You will probably be full on that and then remember to STOP as soon as you are satisfied in your stomach, not your head.

That's why I'm thinking somethings wrong because I'm full after four bites. This strange since I'm just getting off liquids and was starving.

Nope, nothing is wrong. You are still swollen inside and it doesn't take but a few bites to fill you up at this stage. Enjoy the weightloss and feeling full with just a few bites of food. In a couple of weeks you will be able to eat more. But be sure and try to get in your Protein still. shakes are still the best way at this stage.

Don't feel bad I was scared to eat when I first started mushies. Make sure you chew until it's like liquid and you will be ok. I've had a couple close calls but I've never vomited. So far so good!!!

      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.
