I was allowed to add raw fruits and veggies, including salad, to my menu at 12 weeks. Lettuce is the only food, so far, that has made me want to vomit. I cannot eat it. I can eat raw fruits and all other veggies I have tried but lettuce is not my friend. bread rice and Pasta have also been voted off the island. So there is balance in the universe.

I had very little inflammation but I had a little bit of lettuce at about 4 or 5 weeks out.

I find that when I eat lettuce, 'baby' starts growling something awful! I have to eat it when I have no where to go and then sometimes it just comes up. 10 months out.

I'm 6 weeks out and had lettuce with grilled chicken yesterday. Did just fine, then I thought to myself am I supposed to have lettuce yet?

I had it about a month out and was fine. Focused more on eating chicken with the salad (like if I had to go out and eat something)

Now I am about 7 months out but can't eat carrots...they don't sit well. I eat bell peppers and cucumbers daily though.

      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.
