Not really, but today after 3 weeks of Protein Shakes, plus pre-op diet I was released to the pureed phase. So, of course on my way back to work, I stopped by the store and got some cottage cheese and greek yoghurt to put in my refrigerator so I will be able to enjoy my next phase.

Of course, I looked at what I could have, but not the serving size. Well, I ate an entire 4 oz container of cottage cheese. It went down well, and it took me about 20 minutes to eat it.

Once I read my little sheet from the nutritionist, which said my serving size was 1 1/2 ounces I felt like the guy on the KFC commercial....I ate the bones, OMG, I ate the bones!

That was the bad news, the good news is that from my first visit, until 2 weeks post op, I have lost 43 pounds and the nutritionist said that I am 2 months ahead of schedule :D

Funny comment! Good that you are tracking and making corrections early on for long term success. We will all draw outside the line once in a while. And best to not white knuckle this process but endorse yourself for learning how to treat your self the right way by learning as much as possible.

I know the feeling...I'm also at 3 weeks and WAY past the point where 1-1/2 oz is gonna cut it.

You might not feel restriction yet on purée. Best to weigh and measure. But I'm sure you are fine. Don't feel bad. ::

Heh.. Just don't try this with Protein or you're sleeve will protest BIG time. Slider food stage is easy to abuse so track it so you can continue to lose. Oh.. And I love the blk cherry chobani mixed with pineapple cottage cheese.. YUM!

      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.
