How are people with eating celery? I start mushies next week and like to add it in my tuna and chicken salads. The pieces would be very, very small as I would use my food processor to chop it.

I don't have a problem with celery, but you could peal the outside with a veg peeler. that would take a lot of the fiberous stringy stuff off. (But... oh how we need fiber)

I have no problems with celery. In the beginning I did put it in the mini food processor. Once I started on solids weeks into it, I was able to eat a whole stalk with lite creamcheese on it. Just make sure you chew very very good on this, if its stringy, pull the strings off just to be on the safe side, other than that you should have no problems at all!

Not salad with lettuce. Tuna/Chicken salad from a can of either meat, fat free mayo, and some seasonings.

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon capers, with their juice

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place all of the ingredients into the bowl of a small food processor and process until creamy, 1 1/2 minutes. Serve as a salad dressing or a dip. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

I eat bananas every day...not sure why they would've been considered too fibrous. Celery I understand, bananas I don't.

I chop my celery very very tiny and I don't have a problem with it. I think that as long as the pieces are small you should be ok!

I eat bananas every day too! no problems at all. Hey here is an idea for those have a hard time with bananas, put a banana in a mini food processor, scoop into a little cup, freeze overnight. You got yourself a healthy frozen treat! You can also get creative with this and add other fruits, yogurts, etc...

      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.
