I'm finally post op! I never thought I'd get there! It almost feels surreal. My surgery was on Wed. the 17th at S. San Francisco Kaiser. I'm glad to be home but I'm in more pain than I was expecting. The incisions going thru my abdominal muscles hurt the most so i take my lortab every 6 hours, on the dot. I can eat about a 1/4 cup of yogurt or applesauce at a time. I'm actually having a nectar Protein Shake right now; pink grapefruit. It's not bad. Not fabulous but considering it's a Protein shake, it's pretty good.

ANyone have any tasty mush food recipes? Just wondering.

Wow I can't even have mushy. i had m surgery Monday. Didn't get to come home til thursday evening due to dry heaves so bad. Ugh!!! Much worse than I thought. Pain is tolerable. In fact no pain meds at all. For me it was the nausea feeling and a burning feeling like acid. Im onliquid/protein shakes for three weeks.

I'm glad you're home and resting. Cottage cheese and applesauce are good; non-fat refried Beans were my favorite, and later on you can add a little cheddar cheese on top...yum!

Congratulations, you sound real good. I would avoid the grapefruit though; it interferes with a lot of medicines and is very acidic.

Hi I had my surgery Friday the 19th, just got home today. Everything I drink feels stuck, like bad indigestion. Wish I could get my Protein in. 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.
