For the first five days were you on clear liquids only?

I was on liquids for three weeks, clear then full.

After that came purée like real purée not just "I chewed it until it was mushy", but in the food processor purée.

I lived :D

I never had a clear phase but I did have 2 weeks of a liquid diet. Then soft/mushy for the next 10 weeks.

Mine is as follows:

Day 1 & 2: Clear Liquids

Weeks 1&2: clear liquids and on day 3 start on Protein shakes 2oz 3x per day.

(I am a lot more active early on than most...back at work at 5 days, at the gym at 7 so I added Protein powder to my water)

Week 3: add in cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs and canned/soft vegetables (everything should be cut up to the size of a pencil eraser) 2oz 4x per day

Week 4: add fish, poached, baked, canned (plus anything allowed before hand)

Week 5: add lean chicken and turkey

Week 6: add lean beef

Try to get a 1/2- a gallon of Water per day

I'm 10 days out and feel great!

      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.
