So here I am thinking I was going to be tough 3 weeks and try chewing tender chicken and broccoli. I am sooooo uncomfortable. Although I brought it back up, I feel as if its still there. I will be grinding it up to enjoy the flavor...... Ughhh :-/

I was going to say 3 weeks is way too soon for solid foods like that unless your surgeon/bariatric center said it was ok. The last thing you want to do at this time is have to throw up. You want to make sure your stitches, staples, incisions are healing up ok inside before taking on the solids. Blending foods will help make them into the mushy stage that you're probably on. I can't tell by your post if you just threw up today or not but, don't be surprised if it's harder to eat for a few days. Throwing up sometimes will make your pouch swell and feel as if it can't take in as much. I know that happened to me when I threw something up. I had to switch back to liquids/protein shakes for a few days after. Good luck and I hope you're feeling better.

      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.
