Thanks! I've read through the paperwork several times' date=' thanks for the suggestion. I'm an expert of the liquids stage, just curious what others ate during the purée stage. He gave me a list, but those aren't the only foods I'm allowed to have, I'm asking for other suggestions. Thanks.[/quote']

Sorry I never had a puréed stage and went from full liquids to mushy. I have never blended my foods. I would imagine if you have a decent blender you can pulverize most anything.

On my way home. Definitely pressure in my chest/shoulder. But, not too much pain to speak of. I didn't have a hernia. Overall feel pretty good!

No problem! It amazes me how different docs are when it comes to pre/post op diet

Congrats and welcome you your new journey. All doctors can and often seem to be different and that is why I am always saying follow your doctor's guidelines before you listen to anyone else.

I can't believe you're on your way home already! My first thought was 'oh no they didn't do it'! Glad it's over, now go home and take it easy

Thanks, yeah the Doc told me the procedure took 21 minutes. He was disappointed, he normally gets it done in 17. I asked him If he felt like giving me a partial refund for those 4 minutes, he laughed. I don't think I'm getting any money haha. I feel great. Very minimal pain. Walking. Water. burping. SF Popsicles are all my secret weapons ;) lol

      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.
