I'm only 5 days postop and 5 days into my 21 day liquid diet. But I can't help but "dream" of the feeling of getting to chew something on postop day 22. That leads me to my question, what was your first real food, not liquid food, postop?

OMG Amy I so want to chew on something too. I just told Russell tonight that I wasn't hungry but I really wanted to sink my teeth into something.

I was thinking of calling you earlier but time got away from me and I don't like calling people late. I told you I pinned so many food things on Pinteret last night that I could feed myself for quite some time. Have you been thinking about what your first food will be? I did have a Popsicle tonight and you'd have thought it was gourmet the way I was enjoying it! Nice to see you on here.

I also had refried Beans with a little cheese and salsa. I had been on liquids for almost a month at that point, including pre-op diet, and I swore the beans were the best thing I had ever tasted.

I'm thinking retried Beans with cheese and my favorite restaurant salsa might be my first food too. Man, just talking about it makes my mouth water! Come on postop day 22!!

Oh, that sounds good too. By the time I get to postop day 22, I will probably have a list as long as my arm of foods I wanna eat!

Mine was also 2 bites of refried Beans and they were absolute heaven. I posted a picture on my Facebook page as it was truly a significant moment for me.

Oh My God! I blogged about this so much. All I could think about was eating a scrambled egg. The incredible edible egg!! It was heaven when i took my first bite and I savored every minute of it. I might have eaten a little too much that day.

It looks like eggs and retried Beans are the popular first foods. I just finished up 1 of my 3 weeks of liquids and I so can't wait for real food! It's gonna be a long 2 more weeks. The positive thing though is I'm not getting in many calories so my weight loss should be good. :-)

      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.
