Isn't this real fattening??? Did you still loose after eating that??

I've lost every time. I only have 1.5 oz and I'm doing high Protein and full fats with close to zero carbs and sugar. That's what works for me

It's cheese, so there is fat, but you need some fat for sure. cheese is a better choice than mashed potatoes, cause there is Protein in it. Fat is not the enemy! Personally since my surgery 19 months ago I do not eat any low fat, fat free, or sugar free crap. I do all high quality ingredients because I eat so little of it. I do 2% milk, full fat cheeses and salad dressings. And if I get a latte, I don't get sugar free Syrup. I think it helps your body crave less. I made goal eating cheese at least twice a day! Everyone is different but this has worked for me. I have maintained my weight +/- 5 pounds for an entire year.

I ate a lot of baby food at this stage. The only two downsides were that they don't have much Protein and needed salt. However, they provided much needed variety. My favs were peas and carrots.

So today I started puréed food, this morning I started off with some apple sauce.

Every time I take a bite it hurts my chest and stomach. Is this normal? How long will it last?

Also how often and how much did you eat on purée?

Thanks for all the help!!

Yeah, I tried to eat applesauce and it makes me very crampy. I'm drinking some Soup but I'm scared I'm going to drink too much.

How much do you consume at one time. I think I'm paranoid about how much!

Also how are you doing on liquids? I can't seem to drink more than 16oz I know that's horrible.

When I eat soup I usually measure out 4oz and I only eat about 3oz of it. Just make sure you measure and eat slow so you don't consume to much at one time. I've eaten to much and didn't fell very good after. I have a rough time with liquids also, I am having to force myself to drink tons of Water but I'm really wanting to make this work and I've only lost 1lb in the last week so I figured I needed to focus on the water.

Thank you I was looking for this answer lol being a truck driver my resources and time on the road are limited and figured baby food might be the way to go with added protein of course :)

      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.
