My doctor has me on liquids for a while and then 3 weeks of purée. Each doctor is different.

I will be more than happy to get past the puree phase...it is horrible I can't eat anything!!! So I'm stuck with shakes, applesauce, mashed potatoes and just recently added grits.

Your already eating solids???

Yeah, I did clear in the hospital. When I was discharged I was on full liquid and Jello etc for a week. Then from 1week to 1month its was soft foods... Scrambled egg, cottage cheese, Beans etc. At my one month I'm on chicken shrimp all veggie and fruit and salad.

It's the morning after a really painful night... I still feel FULL! I'm sipping water- I have no desire for food today.

I think I'm going to do a liquid/protein day :(

I feel a bit discouraged' date=' Fridays I order pizza for my kids, and today it looked so yummy, but all I was able to eat we're a few bites of mixed veggies and I was stuffed... I miss food, but don't miss the weight. So bittersweet

I can eat out without problems. I measure everything at home on a food scale so I have a pretty good idea of what the amount I can eat looks like....I just separate that amount out into another plate before I start eating.

I measure at home with measuring cup. I need to get a second plate ... Or needed. I need to stay home for a while it was a bad experience for me.

I had my surgery on 8/23/2012

I was on Clear liquids in the hospital

When discharged I was told to stay on Clear Liquids or full liquids for no more than 2 weeks UNLESS I started to feel bad like low blood sugar bad

I was shocked that it happened the Monday after surgery I tried Beans and they sat well

I must have a surgeon that is flexible based on the person

I feel lucky

Today we were out shopping and the rest of my family wanted lunch so we went to taco bell and I had half a serving of Beans and it pleased my pouch

Just wanted to share my experience so far

It's official!.... I can't eat out!

Went out to eat for dinner and I ate too much & feel nasty. I ate slow but didn't measure and didn't realize how much was going in :'( I ordered a Cobb salad with no Bacon or dressing I just at the egg' date=' the a lil turkey and the avocado. But my husband had shrimp and I kept picking and picking and probably ate 10 pieces of little shrimp.

I'm nauseous but nothing will come up. So much discomfort. I didn't get the full feeling until 20 minutes after so late and I can't express my feelings of disgust!

To me that sounds like three meals... The shrimp could be one, the egg another, and turkey and avocado another. If you don't have a scale just remember that your surgeon made your pouch the size of an egg or golf ball so your meal shouldn't be much larger at this point.

      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.
