Hello Everyone,

I am one week away from surgery day, 8-14. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Nervous because I am about to let go my love affair with food and excited to be a healthy new me. Nervous because I will take this journey without my soulmate by my side, newly widowed. Excited because he ALWAYS cheered me on with anything I ever wanted to do.

I guess since its 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of soft food, I really wanna know what people were able to tolerate and some meal choices for when its time to be able to eat real food again.

Continued Blessings All

I'm so sorry for your loss.

As for foods I'm in the soft purée stage, I have 2-3 Protein Shakes a day, Incan eat eat beaters with cheese, grits, cream of rice. I recently made turkey salad in my food processor it was so good! I feel in love with Dannon light and fit Greek vanilla yogurt. I have had Decaf tea and coffee.< /p>

I say practice to eat slow and chew thoroughly, and once surgery is finished sip and walk, my first two weeks I kept Water bottles in every room. I was afraid of getting dehydrated. I can manage 50-64oz a water.

ALWAYS remember we are all different, and our tastes and needs vary.

All the best to you.

Karen

Take care of yourself.

That egg drop soup sounds like a good idea.

My mom was from New Orleans and cooked with sachets. She would fill little squares of cheesecloth with the seasonings of her choice and toss them in whatever she was cooking. This way she got the flavor she wanted without having to worry about fishing out or straining seasoning flakes out of food items she didn't want people to see this flakes.

      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.
