I'm suppose to be purée but I've been eating real foods since a week and a half out and I'm fine. Just small portions of course.

It's all in moderation. The surgery is a tool for Portion Control. With that being said I eat as I please but with limits

But are you losing weight pretty fast?

I am 8 months post op. I like to say that I eat normal foods in abnormal amounts. There is only ONE thing that I can think of that I have wanted since surgery but haven't eaten. That's an Oreo. I don't know exactly why...I have eaten fast food: McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway...I have eaten regular restaurant food: Chili's, Outback, Cheesecake Factory. I eat very little of what I order, so I get what I want but try to make mindful choices. I have lost 105# since surgery on 10/05.

I will start off by saying that everybody is different. To be honest, since I've been pregnant, I eat what I want when I want and am still losing weight. The only difference is that instead of 5 slices of pizza I can only eat maybe one (w/o the crust) or it takes me 3 hours to eat a sandwich (made with sandwich bread not a hoagie) I do know that I could have lost more by now if I make better choices but my OB and surgeon is ok with my weightloss so far. Also after I deliver, I will kick it into high gear so that I may reach my goal and my RNY will not have been in vain.

Everyone is always talking about how they are following the diet nd what the dr said. Did anyone eat whatever and still llst it??????[/quote']

Why are you still eating only Soups and soft food at four months out ? What did your surgeon recommend , four months out you should be eating regular foods just in smaller amounts and watch the sugars .hell eat a steak,but a small one;)

      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.
