I think I love you. 3 teaspoons just made me feel so good! Yay for puréed foods.

That's all :)

Ah! I know that feeling! As soon as I left my Dr's appt and was released to have soft foods, my husband took me straight through a Popeye's drive through and bought a small side of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Oh that first bite was heavenly after being on clears for a week!!! :D

I'm happy for ya! I know the feeling too. I wanted a bite of pizza (just a bite or 2) for about 4 weeks. I got my pizza fix a week ago. Ate less than 3/4 of a small slice. It was delicious and I haven't needed it since.

Although I did have another craving flung on me. Didn't even know I wanted it, but I passed my mom's table and she had banannas in a bowl. Suddenly I wanted that bananna so bad!!!!

And for dinner I made a pot of chili. I took 3oz and pureed it with chicken broth to make it a pureed Soup. Beans, beef and veggies...YUM!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
