Eating mushies, so refried Beans, puréed Soups, applesauce, puréed meat, cottage cheese and scrambled eggs. I'm still drinking a Protein Shake every day to help get my Protein. Sw: 224, cw: 211, but mostly I can tell in my clothes and better sleep. My husband says I haven't been snoring! Yay

I haven't tried any fish yet, chicken has been good, oh I did eat 1 fish finger with some ketchup, and it was amazing, lol. Before I would have had 12 fish fingers. Today I had some of the roast beef off an Arby's sandwich, and that was really nice too. Just chewed very well. It's very thin moist and easy to eat.

I had my surgery on April 10th. Doing well so far. Second stage foods not that exciting but can hold out til next week and stage 3! Who knew that the thought of puréed foods could be so exciting.

Ya know, I agree, it is hard to calculate. My shake has 35 G Protein, so I still drink that for Breakfast and assume the small portions of protein for lunch and dinner are enough. Not the best answer, but that's what I do.

That's the same way I felt I started puree foods yesterday a day early and it was so good I couldn't wait the only thing I really liked b4 was 98%fat free cream of chicken I was getting tired of that

      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.
