Oh I don't think I could have done another 7 days of liquids. I am on soft food for 2 weeks. It is harder then I expected. When you think your eating slow' date=' slow down. That is going to be my thought for this next 2 weeks![/quote']

Good advice. All I think about is what soft foods I'll eat next Tuesday. I'd love to know if you eat anything that doesn't go down well - and if you feel like you have about 3 oz of space down there. My stomach feels a different size morning vs afternoon. Very weird.

So far the turkey chili was to much. I have the costco canned chicken breast that I added a touch of mayo and mustard to to ensure that it was moist. I have been working on about 1/4 of a cup for almost an hour. Small bites, lots of time in between, I am about half way done with it. Feeling almost full, but it is settling well! Also, Greek yogurt is a blessing!

I had mine on the 28th too...I am so sick of Protein Shakes, I cannot drink them anymore. I am not a sweet person. Bacon flavored protien shakes and I would be all over that! So I have to work at my Protein intake. I was fluids, 1 week, 2 weeks puree, and now tomorrow I can start soft foods. The juggling of fluids, then no fluids 30 min before and after eating, then eating 6x a day. I feel like this is a part time job sometimes. Not losing weight super fast, so I decided to not go on the scale. I did try oppsies...they are awesome with hummus or pureed meat. I have been juicing for energy. Some drinks I can stand better than others. This is a shift in mind set. All has been pretty good so far.

I was sleeved May 28th, as well. As of today, down 45.6 lbs since surgery and 70.4 since I started in October. Decided to give myself something to look forward to, I signed up for the Warrior Dash in September. I've been having a hard time exercising, so that is my motivation.

Although it's been difficult to get the Protein and liquids in each day, I don't regret my decision. Happy sleeving!! :D

      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.
