6 Days Away From Soft Food



Recommended Posts

I have been on liquids a little over 5 weeks now and I am excited to say I am 6 days away from soft foods. While I am still 6 days away from moving up to soft foods I am already planning my first meal. I was wondering if anyone has good ideas for me?

I am already on watered down mashed potatoes. I use chick broth to soften it. As much as I like potatoes even that is starting to get old.

seriously, does that mean no milk or teeny piece of butter? better to make a whole fresh potato or potatoe buds? Does it matter? thankyou.gif If you do use the chicken broth is that instead of Water, does it taste ok, or just "ok" wink5.gif

Per my surgeon's orders, I'm on mushies until February 2nd, my next appointment. A sample menu for me is a poached egg for Breakfast with a bit of pureed ham, a double Protein Drink (50 gms. protein), and a 1/4 c. cottage cheese for supper. I've also had three Vienna sausages, or a 1/4 c. of refried Beans with a few cheese shreds on top. So far, so good.

I can't wait to eat my first soft food. I am not hungry or really craving, I am just sick of liquids. I should be able to go on soft foods Monday. Yippee, I can't wait.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
