Hey!

Anyone else just starting this stage?? I'm a bit nervous and anxious--not about the eating and tolerating, but about it slowing down my weight loss... Any advice?

I can start eating mild/light cheeses, light mayo, tuna, scrambled eggs, moist chicken....

My weight loss progress is already slow (imo)... Lost 24 lbs first month :-/....

24 lbs is good for first month. When I moved to regular food I introduced 1 new food per meal to see how it went. I can eat just about anything I want that is low sugar, low fat. I stick to Protein, an occasionally have carbs in small amounts .

Just as an FYI I am 7 weeks post op. I recently hit a stall in weight loss, just had my monthly so that may have added to it, expected it to happen, heard it does for everyone. I find I struggle with Water intake more now too

I am 13 wks post op... I was scared when my dr. said I could start on soft/wet regular food so don't feel bad, I think a lot of us go thru this. My only advise is chew, chew, chew, take your time eating, and introduce new foods slowly. My dr. said add one new food per day. I still eat lots of yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, Soup etc. just because i like all that stuff. Good luck.

I was allowed to start soft foods after 2 weeks of liquids. 1 of my favorite things is scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. So yummy! I also like the refried Beans with cheese salsa and fat free sour cream. Clearly I really like salsa lol. Good luck and get creative with it. You don't want to bore yourself with the same old thing everyday. My doctor told me to spice things up.

      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.
