I'll be able to start soft solids soon. YAY! There've been a few things I've been curious about. I looked at my nut's plan and it's not very clear so I looked at the Northwest Obesity Plan...still not clear.

When were yall able to have:

Cereal (like cheerios)

slices of cheese or cheese sticks

VEGETABLES! I'm craving veggies so badly. I would love some squash or zucchini or mushrooms or something... esp carrots.. carrots would be good too.

fruit? Aside from bananas what kind of fruit did yall start off on?

Is there anything else yall started introducing during the soft solids stage that hasn't even entered my mind yet? Anything that's a definite "don't even think about it yet"?

On soft foods, I could have veggies that were steamed or canned fork squishy. I avoided seeds like Tomato seeds, cucumber seeds, and zuchinni seeds. I also was told to not eat celery unless I destringed it even if it was cooked soft.

Fruit. I was allowed canned fruit, again squishy. I was told to go easy on the fresh fruit due to the tough digestion of fibrous foods. Absolutely NO peels. I also had a small applesauce or two.

I really didn't do cereal because of the low Protein and fear of becoming a slider food. I tried mixing flavorless Protein with my oatmeal, but it made a weird texture, and if it got the least bit hot, it clumped.

I did have string cheese in tiny well chewed bits, but not at first.

Melted cheese was fine.

mostly protein, tuna, other fish, ground meats, chicken cooked moist and tender, cottage cheese, greek yogurt.

I wasn't allowed raw fruits and veggies until 6 weeks. I loved my first salad.

Can't help with the Cheerios--don't like cold Cereal so I don't eat it. However, I could have oatmeal with a lot of milk in mushy stage. Let your Cheerios get mushy.

I had melted cheese over refried Beans during softs. I didn't eat cheese sticks until the go-ahead for all foods. They still fill me up too fast.

Vegetables--well-cooked veg at all foods--no salad or raw carrots for 3 mos.

I ate a lot of applesauce, peaches and pears in the blender, etc. during softs.

Good luck!

      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.
