I have discovered chicken spread, roast beef spread, deviled ham and potted meat. You could also get vienna sausages or spam and blend them. There are also some very tasty baby fruity baby foods such as peach cobbler, tutie fruity and hawain delight. Greek yogurt is very high in Protein and so is fat free cottage cheese. You can also do fat free or low fat pudding. I would stay away from mashed potatoes though because they are so high in carbs.

The choices are pretty limited because of the need to prepare these items to be eaten either as mushy or pureed. The diet is so boring I have lost all desire to eat. I subsist mainly on Water, milk and Protein Shots. Yuck.

Cream of Wheat, and Malt-o Meal. Someone here mentioned adding cottage cheese to spaghetti sauce and warming them up (not too much) and that is quite filling! I've also added cottage cheese to my Tomato Soup.< /p>

Just be careful about buying too much. You aren't going to be able to eat a whole lot so don't get stuck with a bunch of mushy makings you wouldn't want to eat later :) Pick a few and go with that for a while.

I bought some of the Dannon Oikos greek yogurt...you can get it in a bunch of flavors but I decided to buy the plain and add a little sugar free jelly to mine... it's pretty good!

      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.
