I've healed pretty quickly, no gas pain no aching just the incisions are a little sore- I'm on mushys now and I'm starving, I fill up quicker but idk what to eat to stay under 800 calories. Since preop I've lost 20 pounds nothing since then. Scared to gain it back- I'm sure returning to the gym will def make me loose weight. I go back on the 28th :/ I wonder if ill get a fill in then?

What mushies are you eating?

Some ideas are:

Refried Beans with shredded cheese-melted and a little sour cream and salsa or taco sauce

Cottage cheese

pizza Cup- pizza sauce with melted shredded mozzarella cheese

Lasagna cup- cottage cheese, Pasta sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese

Pinto Beans

Soft/flaky meat- tuna, other fish, chicken

Steamed or blended/puréed veggies

Applesauce

Soft fruit-no skin

Bananas

Mashed potatoes

Thin oatmeal or cream of wheat

Scrambled eggs-make sure they aren't too dry and chew really well.

Hope this helps!

I made lasagna cups with the following:

1/2 cup ff ricotta

1/2 cup lf cottage cheese

1 egg

1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese

Spaghetti sauce

Mix the egg, ricotta, and cottage cheeses together. Spray ramekins with Pam. Spoon cheese mix in until about 3/4 full. Top with spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese. Bake on baking sheet for about 25-30 mins at 350. Allow to cool. They refrigerate and reheat well.

      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.
