If it fills you up fast isn't that a good thing? That suggests to me that you'd eat less.

It's not a good thing if you are filling up on the wrong foods. You want to get your Protein in first, veggies,,fruit then healthy carbs. I know..you would think it would be a good thing to get filled up fast..they make pills that supposedly help do this.lol

Peacequeen, how long until you were able to eat leafy greens? I've tried a few times and it hasn't gone well.

I was a couple months out and I incorporated them slowly..and cooked them till they were soft. You can add them to Soups too. I couldn't eat a salad till I was about 3 months out and I chopped the lettuce till it was like slaw. The only thing I have a hard time tolerating now is milk and bread..not milk products..just milk..strange because I used to love it..would drink alot of it pre-surgery.

I should add that a couple months out for me was really about 3 1/2 months because I had a leak and I had to do liquids and mushies all over again.

      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.
