What's some examples besides the obvious of soft foods? Shrimp? Dying for shrimp but don't want to go too fast.

I am 10 days and on puréed food. Shrimp was fine for me, I mushed it up with a fork. I think the smaller ones are softer so they may go down easier. Sweet potato is another good one, refrained Beans, eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, tuna, egg salad - all good.

I'm on soft foods as well and was told that if I can mush it with a fork I can have it except for bread, raw veggies and fruit with skin. My current favs are grilled shrimp, tuna salad and saltines.

Refried Beans (low fat) are good and so is greek yogurt.

I can't do dairy. I've been eating egg salad, saltines, tuna, and until I realized the dairy was causing the nausea I was eating refried Beans. I gotta have cheese for that. :( sick of the same ole things :(

What about mashed potatoes, meats and veggies cooked in the crockpot, chili, steamed veggies or Soups.

Hate Soup, can do mashed taters, haven't tried much meat besides puréed but crockpot will be sporting something tomorrow, and I don't like pumpkin. :) I'm super picky more so than my kids. Think I'm going to put a whole chicken in crockpot with rosemary and BBQ and freeze the leftovers in snack baggies. I can freeze it like that right?

You can certainly freeze it. But if you use baggies instead of tupperware, wrap the baggies of leftovers in tin foil to prevent freezer burn.

      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.
