Can you crush some of it and drink the juice for the same satisfaction of eating it?

I'm not sure if watermelon is a good idea or not at this stage. If I recall correctly we're not supposed to have juices that have alot of pulp in them, and watermellon, even mushed or pureed would be very pulpy, Unless ya blendered it and strained it real well.

I know quite a few people that had Watermelon very early out. It is soft enough that you can chew it to a puree/mushie. Be careful though, it is a slider for me!

I had a little piece today... as in a one-inch cube. I'm on pureeds. I just sucked it and chewed until it was mushy. I couldn't help it. All I seem to want is cold and wet things... my thirst is crazy!

      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.
