I am only on day 18 ( and was thinking about the "when" idea of tacos, but know that I canno have it annnnnnnytime soon).

Actually..... I've only lost 12 lbs and have stalled al-damn-ready....( for the past 5 days)..... So I guess all i NEED to eat are Protein drinks!

( feeling very discouraged & frustrated right now....)

Maybe that's why I was "dreaming" about tacos.......

I've heard there's a side effect of having Surgery in Mexico...... You wake up from anesthesia craving, chips, salsa, guacamole and Margaritas..... and instead of walking.... you do the Merengue... Ole'

Weird question. Has anyone tried to eat raw oysters on soft foods? Haha

I've had cooked oysters. A bit tough. Raw oysters are generally not chewed so I think it would be too big a chunk.

Are shrimp soft foods?

My surgeon classified them as a soft-solid food. I could have them in week four. Flaky white fish was considered a soft food on my plan and I could have it in week three. I had red snapper the beginning of week three and it was like heaven -- probably because it was at a really nice restaurant and the chef prepared it very well. I had no issues with fish (white flaky) and ate it often in weeks three and four. I still enjoy it about once a week but have moved on to other stuff as well now that I'm in week seven. :-)

I am allowed to eat shell-less tacos, I will be ten weeks out..... haha, make that taco with no lettuce, but I make up my little (very little pile)... sot seasoned turkey, cheese, small dollop sour cream, salsa..... but I decided not to eat this too much, it really is a trigger to wanting the actual shell..... must be because I went to TJ for the surgery, weird huh?

      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.
