I didnt puree anything! Ive been having soft eggs only. This stage ends monday. Wooo!!

Lucky you! I still have two weeks of soft foods. Quick question. Does anyone have regrets about the surgery? Eating is so uncomfortable and I don't enjoy it. Ugh!

I never pureed anything either. Well once I pureed some turkey with a little mustard but it was awful. I just ate soft foods and chewed till I couldn't chew any more :)

tsxo- sometimes eating is uncomfortable and I don't always want to, but generally no discomfort. How far out are you?

Sarting monday phase 1 I introduce soft meats, deli meats, cheeses, etc. Phase 2 is whole grains. Phase 3 is raw veggies/fruits. What about you?

You're allowed whole grains?? Like what?? I'm allowed non sugary cold Cereal if it's soaked in milk, but otherwise no grains.

I have NO regrets! I feel amazing, I don't get sick with vomiting or diarrhea and I know people who do everyday. Which is from making very poor choices. I did puree some things, of course it's almost forgotten now. Kinda like during and after giving birth, you swear you'll never do it again, but then you are so happy that you would do it all over again. One day (a few months) you will love the changes and you would do it all over again!

I hope so. I'm sick of eggs for Breakfast, Protein shakes and chicken. I don't eat seafood so I'm very limited. I used to love it and now knowing that's what I'm going to eat I really don't even want to. I haven't gotten sick since I haven't tried eating anything the dietician said not to. I have to wait another 2 weeks to eat veggies and fruits! Ugh!

I still have a Protein Shake most morning's, the trick is to make it a little different each day. chocolate thick like a frosty, berry or peach. Heck for thanksgiving, I made a pumpkin one. Not something I could drink often, it tasted just like a cold pumpkin pie with whipped cream. It was a mind thing! I just find shakes are easier and give me lots more Protein to kick start my day. It's just a mind set, you can do anything you set your mind too! Good luck!

It's starch and carbs and will turn into fat. There is zero nutritional value to popcorn

- Kaylee Ann ~ Surgerversary 6/11/2012

I'm confused. You eat no starch or carbs? My Dr has strict orders that I must eat a starch at every meal. Said starch is what gives us energy.

Not saying my way is correct, but its correct for me... it is saying that diet plans are different with every Dr. Be positive! We are all here to support each other.

I am able to eat popcorn. However, I need to be careful with huls.

So I just seen my Nut and she informed that popcorn is okay after six weeks post op...thanks everyone for the advice :) Oh and that starches are ok too because I asked about rice and she said that it's perfectly fine.

Cool! Please post back here after you've tried popcorn! I have a bag of pretzel crisps here, and I eat one per day to satisfy my "crunch" cravings.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
