My surgery date was 10/9, I ate chicken broth, drank Fuze Slenderize, lots of Water, sf popsicles, Jello, etc. I advanced to creamy Soups yesterday and ate an oz of instant mashed potatoes. Everything seems to be going down fine. I haven't had any nausea from foods. But, if I feel the urge to use the bathroom and I don't go right away, I get extremely nauseated....its very weird.

I'm still on a liquid diet too, sleeved on 10/11/12. I try to mix it up daily so I don't get bored. I do different types of Protein Shakes, Soups, sugar free pudding with Protein Powder, Protein Shots and crystal light.

I was on Clear Liquids for a week. Now I am on "creamy" liquids and runny "mushies" for another week (I cheated with the mashed potatoes). Next week I start "mushies" for 2 weeks.

My 2 week post-op appt is next Tuesday and I'm hoping everything is going as good inside as it feels like it is.

I wish I read this post earlier today! I'm tentative to take something that may upset my stomach, so I had baby food-pureed prunes with applesauce with lunch hoping that would help. So far, nada! I also bought Fiber gummies, recommended on another thread and ate 2. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

      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.
