I just did! I took a Campbell's Soup (Mexican Tortilla) and spun it up in my bullet! One serving for dinner tonight, one to take to work tomorrow. Yum! Also made a Protein Shake in it earlier (strawberry Protein Powder, frozen strawberries & fat free milk) - the thing has a ton of uses!

Nope, I'm in my 3rd week and I just take TINY bites of food that I cut into tiny pieces, then proceed to chew for the next five minute..... ^_^

Sure do! My doctor said I can have anything I want that doesn't require chewing. I've blended up Soups, Protein shakes, etc. Mainly I stick with fat free refried Beans with some lowfat cheese, Greek yogurt, Protein Shakes (google some recipes - there's yummy stuff out there!) and blended Soups that I sometimes enhance with chicken Soup flavored Protein powder. Use your imagination, but stick with the protein guidelines you've been given!

      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.
