I am 2 weeks out tomorrow and was told I could start cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs, Peanut Butter. I was 242 when I was approved for surgery I had to get to 230 before they would schedule my surgery I lost another 5 pounds during the pre op diet and today I weigh 206. I have been losing about 2 pounds a day.

I am about 2.5 weeks post-op and started 'mushies' this past week - scrambled egg chopped up, tuna salad chopped up, tilapia chopped up, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, yogurt (plain or vanilla), sugar free or fat free pudding, creamed Soups, creamed spinach, baby pastina, cream of farina, ricotta cheese... They told me to put whatever I was eating in a 4 oz dixie cup and then dump it on the plate to eat. I barely finish 1/2 of it but most is staying down...

I am 3 weeks post op and was wondering what are other's eating or have eaten at this time period?

Monday I'll be 4 wks out and I get to try chicken, beef, and turkey blended w/gravy!! I'm kinda scared to try it, but I'm gonna try a recipe I saw. I was a couple oz of cooked or canned chicken, a tbsp of ceasar dressing, a couple sprinkles of parm cheese and blended up!! Chicken Ceasar w/out the salad.... I'm curious to see how it goes down.

      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.
