Well, I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. I was on a liquid diet for 1 extra week due to some pain with swallowing. After being SCARED TO DEATH to try anything semisolid, I did it!!!! I just tried Cream of Wheat. It's amazing to me how different it felt than my liquids. I was able to get 4-5 small bites in before becoming full. How odd thi seems..... What was your first mushie? I have two weeks of mushies ahead of me. I plan on a lot of refried Beans, yogurt, egg salad, tuna salad...What else were your favorite mushies?

At 3 weeks out, I started with eggs…all kinds of eggs – scramble, over medium, hard boiled eggs. I eat a lot of tuna salad with and without eggs, egg salad, crab salad (I like to make devil eggs and stuff them with the crab salad), cottage cheese with a little bit of pineapple juice, , Re-fried Beans with salsa and Greek yogurt. I can also eat seafood as long as it’s not fried.

I just started but I've made chicken salad, tuna salad, deli meat with cheese, cottage cheese, baby bel light cheeses, eggs don't have as much Protein as the tuna and chicken, but they are so yummy. Also, tilapia is really good because it is really soft and flaky.

I also love eggs, tuna salad, chicken salad (I used rotisserie chicken from costco rather than canned chicken), and loads of 2% cheese!!

      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.
