Why are you so afraid to eat anything? Have you been throwing up? I was lucky with being able to eat just about anything. By day 37 I could eat almost whatever I wanted.

Did you not get a food plan from your doctor or the NUT when you had your surgery. If not I would be calling the NUT to meet with her and to get a diet plan that you should be following.

Try eating just soft foods and slowly incorporate some TINY bites of chicken and chew it till it's complete mush in your mouth. Soft foods like mashed cauliflower, cream of wheat, oatmeal, eggs, tuna, soft fish,,like cod. Something I found about chicken is that even though it's more fattening,,the dark meat like on a leg is much easier to swallow. Try to get Protein in first, then veggies..you can mash just about any veggie and make it taste good..just lay off the starchy ones. Just stay on softer foods till you can talk to a nutritionist. You can find alot of diets online as well..just make sure they come from a reputable source.

By day 37, I too was allowed to be on soft regular food. I still adore rotisserie chicken. Something about the roasting process makes it easier to chew and swallow. If you're really worried, you can always puree it while you're working to transition to other solid foods. Sometimes canned meats are easier to handle on the soft food stages. Before you know it, you'll be eating regular food again, just in tiny amounts! :)

You need to be getting nutrition down. Find soft foods you can eat. If it's just discomfort, work through it a little. Spitting food can turn into a habit/eating disorder.

Try Soups. I liked bean & bacon. I also made some pureed soups that I still like to eat.

I was eating hot sauces from very early out. I think I'm 8 weeks now. I have always had an Iron stomach. Try a little and see how it goes. Some people become intolerant to some foods like eggs and milk and spicy food. It hasn't happened to me.

      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.
