I found Kashi made a pizza 15 grams of Protein a slice. Now I could I only eat a small sliver but it was good. I've been wanting pizza so I satisfied my craving healthier. Problem is super thirsty afterwards

Where did you find it? Was it a cheese pizza?

What does it feel like when you add food back into your diet

Weird. Especially because in your head you think of all the things you want, but then in reality you're like "I'm full off this spoonful of yogurt." As you progressively move towards more solid foods with variety it kind of feels scary. I can't speak for everyone, but the surgery has forced me to become creative what foods I eat and how I prepare them. And sometimes it's a real struggle when you want to eat something but know you can't (whether it's because you're full or you know it's a bad choice) but it becomes easier.

I'm almost 11 weeks out, and it's just sort of become second nature. There are a lot of things I could probably try at this point (especially because I've never had dumping) but I stay away.

The first month is really the hardest because there are so many drastic changes you're dealing with. But it gets better :)

Tonight it was 1/2c chili with a little onion and some cheese plus about 8 small left over swtpto fries. Last night I had 3 medium sized shrimp lightly sautéed in olive oil, a minced garlic clove and juice from an orange plus a handful of baked sweet potato fries. Staying away from most meats and chicken-they haven't been agreeing with me and bread is just out of the question. In fact, aside from the Protein Bars (which I only eat when I didn't plan well) I feel like I'm eating mostly soft and slightly chewy stuff. Strange.

      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.
