I am not sure, but I think grits are high in carbs. I know I can't have anything with total carbs over 10 per serving. When did u have your surgery?

Nevermind I just read the title. I had eggs a lot or tuna with mayo. Fish in general is good and soft.

I think it's a little to soon for grits, if you want the weight to go away stick to the rules it will work if you work it

Y not?

I was able to do soupy grits 2 weeks post op. It's the perfect consistency. But eggs were better for Protein but i can't tolerate them even when thier so loose they are almost runny my tummy says no. So grits it is for me and my surgeon and nut are fine with it.

I too can have grits for the first 4 weeks. I've never liked them so I haven't had them. However, the dieticians at my hospital forewarned that especially in the beginning, you may be able to handle a certain food on Monday and then be sick with it on Tuesday. Congrats on your weight loss and good luck

Thank you for ur response. It's not just the grits. It's everything I eat or drink. I'm calling the doc tomoro. I thought I did something really bad by eating grits. Even tho the NUT said I could.

      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.
