10/17. I am currently on soft foods/mushies. Today I was able to eat one small meatball and it was like Christmas morning!

I want Christmas morning! LOL

Though I think I'm lucky now to get blended veggies. I do love my veggies!

I miss veggies! I can't wait until I can have some kale! I think the hardest part of the pre/post op diet for me is the lack of real food. I mean one can only have so much Soup and Jello

Just had my first cream of chix soup, it was good. Really soup is way better than broth. I'm hoping blended veggies taste good, I'll add a little broth to them.

When you get to mushies, throw whatever you like in a blender!

Tomorrow will be making Taco Soup, minus the meat and in the blender it goes.

I told my daughter years ago, I could live off that stuff.

I'm actually excited!

2wks tomorrow. I've been following this forum for 7mths and one thing that gets pounded into you is "follow your Drs orders & just b/c you can eat something, doesn't mean you should".

This are a great group of ppl and a lot are very successful. They're here to help.

Week one of my pre op diet I can have veggies. Like day one sample menu had an apple. Day two carrots. Do you like those kind of veggies? And Soups with veggies don't need to be pureed yet. I know everyones pre op diet is different. Week 2 is stricter I guess to get gradually used to the post op diet.

My nutritionist said it helps to think of each diet phase as 2 weeks. Because you can say I am half way thought the first week, half way to the next diet phase etc. I liked that. Yes it might take a bit longer for some people in reality but it's about 2 weeks, 2 weeks and 2 weeks. LOL so I even checked the calendar as soon as I got my surgery date, to see which date I will be back on small portions of table food.< /p>

You can put some sugar free redi whip on your Jello so you don't get bored with it. It tastes so much better. I start my 2nd week of pre op tomorrow. My surgery is Friday!!!

      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.
