I'm almost 2weeks post op & I'm supposed to be on a purree / soft food diet but i literally have to force myself to eat, its horrible. I could drink Water alll day and not eat anything and be fine with it. One thing that does concern me is that all i crave / want are limes and hotsause. Any suggestions?

I too did not like food right after surgery, I had to set a alarm to remind myself to eat. That will pass... I love your craving Limes and hot sauce:) I probably would not use either one of them at this point but further down the road I'm sure you can. Lots of strange feelings, cravings etc. happen after surgery. I stuck to what my surgeon wanted me to eat and I got thru it. I got ALL my Protein and Water in daily that was my main goal until I was on regular food. Talk to your surgeon or nutritionist.

I stick to three meals a day plus Protein even if I can eat just a few ounces. For me I just want to stay in a good meal mode...but some days it's hard.

I agree with doodle. I would hold off on the strong acid of lines and hot sauce. However I love having lime I. My Water and I have read it is good for you. You might try a little in your water to see.

As for cravings - I can't get enough Asian food, and seem to be able to tolerate spicer things.

I craved salsa after having the sweet taste of shakes for so long. I pureed it in damn near everything. Spice doesn't bother me, but I know some can't tolerate it.

I find it weird how we crave certain things after surgery. Mine was anything mint and BBQ Sauce. 2 things I really didn't care for before surgery. I've gotten over the mint but I still use BBQ sauce.

      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.
