Because of the way my meal plan progressed I didn't really have a 'first meal' so to speak - I do remember when I could start having raw veggies and LOVED my first salad. :) I also was glad when I was cleared for spicy food, it really helped when I could make pseudo-buffalo wings (with grilled chicken) and could add salsa/pico de gallo to my meals.

I "think" I had an egg, truthfully. I was almost disappointed because I couldn't eat much of anything. I learned really quickly to make sure I ate my Protein first and to make sure my food had some flavor. The bland stuff got to me. I can't eat really spicy food yet, but I'm slowly adding in some spicy stuff.

Good luck! :)

I had crab legs. Cracking them open and getting the meat out made sure I was eating slow. They are also high in Protein and low in fat and carbs. It went very well but I could not eat very much. It was good to feel normal again though.

Indymom...I can not wait for my first salad and salsa yumm:)

Lissa....I also have the same problem with food that is too bland...I have to find that happy medium between bland and too spicy

Danielle....crab legs sound so good. I am hoping they go well for me too.

Thanks for all your input guys!

      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.
