I just realized in my paperwork.. that I go from the 5 wks of full liquids stage to solid food. There is no mushie/puree stage! WOOOO HOOOOOO

of course it says to eat tender things, chew 230942304 times, no steak yet etc etc.. BUT IM EXCITED. YESSSSSSSSSSSS :)

I guess I can live thru 4 more wks of full liquids :)

I am surprised you are on full liquids for so long. I would include a soft and mushy stage just to be safe. While you think you might be ready to move on your stomach may not.

I was only prescribed to stay on full liquids for a week, mushy/puree/soft solids for 2 weeks and progress to solid foods as tolerated.

Least to say, it took over 3 months for solid foods to be tolerable. You might find that even the most mushed up, chewed to cardboard tasting foods just don't work that soon.

Of course, we'll all cheer for you if you can eat 3oz of chicken that early, but typically that's not the case.

I plan on taking it veryyy slow. Like baked Beans, chicken salad, mashed potatoes etc... I am going to be thrilled with just that! The chicken can wait lol

I don't blame ya one bit. Those are all mushy/pureed by my guideline so I think you'll do great. Don't forget egg salad, and Greek yogurt YUM ! ! !

Chicken still sucks for me at 2 years out compared to red meats. Scallops and shrimp are both really good Protein soft Proteins that will help you not live on Protein Drinks for months on end.

      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.
