A friend who doesn't know about my rny has asked me to join her at a dinner theater, for which she has tickets, but her husband can't attend. It's a buffet, so I'm not sure how to navigate it. I will tell her I had hernia surgery or something and can't really eat, but I'm sure there's something I can have. My doc has me on purees. In sure there will be Soup. Are mashed potatoes ok? Would watermelon be ok? I'm so nervous.

My nutritionist told me anything is ok as long as its soft enough to mash with a fork. I'm sure there will be a couple things you'll be able to eat.

mild fishes like cod or tilapia. Soups. i wouldn't do fruit unless you are cleared for fruits, besides you need the Protein first and that will fill you up.

      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.
