i went through that too. but i was allowed veggies by 4 weeks out. i still struggle with fruit because it gives me dumping bad just from the natural sugars :( i miss it tho. i attempted salad the other day and it wasnt that bad. you can always call your NUT or send an email.

I am almost 4 weeks and I can have very soft veggies like carrots/broccoli cooked really well. My nut said no string veggies like asparagus, it's harder to digest.

I hadnt thought about it but I went to the hospital website where NUT works and I found an updated list. I can have vegetables on Thursday!! I will be 7 wks then so I can have raw vegetables. Woohoo!! Thank God for the little things in life:-)

      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.
