I am beginning my third week and just starting pureed foods. How will I know if I tolerate them or not. Will I get sick, will I have pain, I'm unsure as to what the signs of intolerance are.....

I get pretty nauseated when I eat something that doesn't agree with my new stomach. I'm over 2 months out, and some things make my stomach cramp, and then the nausea kicks in.

I try really hard to only try one new food item per day. It's the craziest thing in the world, but some of the most bland food makes me sick, but mexican food was fabulous. I even ate some chips and salsa with my fajita meat, and felt fabulous. 2 days ago, I ate a Yoplait light yogurt Lemon flavor with a small amount of All Bran dry Cereal mixed in, and I was so sick.

I really think every individual's body will react differently. I met a lady down here who can't tolerate the foods I can and vice versa.

I've also heard just because it doesn't a certain food work right now, doesn't mean in a few months you'll have the same results.

Good luck and let us know how things go. . .

I am about a week ahead of you and began pureed last Tuesday. I would suggest, first and foremost, GO SLOW. My wife has been on my case to slow down when I eat, and now I do. Might take me 15-20 minutes to have a meal now. I am most successful when I take small, small bites and chew the hell out of it even if it is pureed. I also "grease the slide" just a bit with a small drink of Water before I begin eating. Make sure your puree is wet enough. I took a bite of chicken breast, chewed and chewed, swallowed, and whoops! Not even close enough to the proper wetness. Got the slimes. Ick. We were also told not to introduce a new food more than once every three days, and I have followed that. And baby food has been a nice taste diversion. Hope this helps!

      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.
