How's everyone doing? We're, what, on day 9. Wow. Time flies. I'm still on full liquids until Tues. Then soft foods til day 30. Then I can introduce regular food, one at a time. I can't believe it takes me 30 min. to eat 1/4 c. of cream of wheat! Never thought that would happen!! Lol!

I hope everyone's recovery has been smooth and speedy. I feel very blessed to be on this wonderful journey!

Loool tell me about it. It takes me all day to sip on a 12oz shake of Protein. Not sure I'm getting all my liquids in but I seem okay. So what are you having now, bc I've gotten so bored with what having, maybe u can enlighten me! I'm feeling great though.. been going out and taking long walks all over downtown DC with my hubby and little ones.. like 3 to 5 hours and honestly I feel so good ♡

I have my check up on tuesday as well, can't wait :-)

I'm kinda bored, too. I've been eating cream of wheat, Protein Shakes, greek yogurt (plain)-yuck! Taste like I'm eating sour cream. Lol. I need to try to add something to it! I've also been having Soup a lot. Sounds weird in this SoCal heat wave. But it tastes so good. I just use the emersion blender to make it very smooth. I'm also starting to make smoothies. 1c. soy/almond milk, 1c. frozen fruit, 2 packets of Splenda and a few ice cubes. Blend until smooth. It makes a lot, though. Still not used to the downsized portions! :rolleyes: So I just have some and freeze the rest for later. Take it out 1/2hour or so before you want it. Hope it helps. Best of luck to 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.
