Yes try some scrambled eggs. I did before I was supposed to. Just make sure you chew it well before swallowing. And take teeny tiny bites to make sure you can handle it. Eat it very slowly and you should be fine :)

And I feel the same way about food too. I'm always hungry and obsessed with food too lol. Just watch your portions and calorie intake and you should be fine.

After about 7 days, I tried Cream of Mushroom Soup and Cream of chicken soup. I had no problems eating them and they filled me up. But I could only eat about 2oz. So be careful if you try them. I was eating 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per bite.

Its not that I am hungry, I am sick of the shakes! I dread them so bad. I don't want anything sweet. I don't even like the sf popsicles anymore. Now I've been having the cream of mushroom 98%ff Soup strained. Now that was a nice change. I can't wait to try a scrambled egg. Good luck.

I tried scrambled eggs this morning and thought my stomach was on fire. But it does for anything I swallow. I can't seem to find anything that doesn't hurt. I'm so exhausted and upset cause it hurts so much. When the pain hits I just wish someone would shoot me and put me out of my misery. I tried chicken broth last night and the same thing happened. I don't know what to do. But I hope it all works out for you...

      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.
