Hi

When you go from liquids to soft food you will most likely feel a slight pain in your stomach, not major pain but you have to remember that your new stomach hasn't been working out for a while and has gotten a bit lazy. It's just as a muscle after working out or exercising, it can be a bit sore! :-) Take it slow, chew a lot before you swallow and you should be fine.

You will absolutely not stop loosing weight, but it should slow down a bit. This is normal och the way it should be for your body to catch up. Loosing it iat the same rate as you do on full liquids isn't healthy in the long run, so don't worry about it. Make sure you only put yourself on the scales once a week to avoid feeling of panic if it hasn't moved for a day or two. :-) I came to a stall week 3, but for the first time in my life I felt completely calm about it, I am so convinced I will succeed this time and if I work it out I have still lost an average of 2,8 kg per week.

My first soft foods was a really yummy and soft scrambled egg. Yoghurts and semolina porridge was other things I had. smoothies made from yoghurt, berries and proteinpowder is what I had and still has for Breakfast.

Good luck and best wishes!

      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.
