I'm still in the hospital officially 8 days now. I have no appetite at all' date=' no source of hunger, jus minor cravings that fade away with the commercial. I feel on a scale from 1-10 physically: 7, mentally: 5, and emotionally: 5...

Dr said I have blood clots in my abdomen. He put me in blood thinners for 3-6months.

Currently on the mushy stage but I don't know what to eat at all[/quote']

Get better! Prayers your way!

I have been blending all my foods in the blender to puree it. To give myself a little extra Protein

I use the unjury chicken Soup flavor mix and pour it over the chicken as a gravy and it works great for me.

They're allowing me to be on more of a mechanical soft diet, rather than purees and such. So far, I've had hummus, tuna salad, soft meatballs, flaky fish, thin-ish mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, and string cheese. They allow very well ground meats and things like that, rather than having to blend everything.

My diet is similar to yours but I have to purée some foods. I have yet to try meatballs but I love being able to eat fish. It helps me get a lot of my Protein in.

      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.
