I think I'm not realizing when I'm full and I'm going too far. I measured all the food I'm taking to work today. And I puréed chili in the food processor. Maybe something thinner will go down better.

Yeah, thinner food is better, good luck.

Just an FYI- I found an App for counting my Protein. It cost $3.99, but so far its worth it for me.

I've been using My Fitness Pal but ignoring how many calories it thinks I should eat.

It's called Protein Track. It has a red background with a man showing muscles. I wish it had a scanner for food, but it does let you create a food so you can add anything you can't find.

I am 2 and a half weeks out. I started food on Monday. So far everything is going well. I am not really good at guessing if I am full or not. I just stick to weighing everything.

Ok. I think if I burp, I'm full. I ate about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and diced peaches. Burped. Stopped. Feel full but not uncomfortable like I have in the past.

So much for that. The 1/4 cup total of cottage cheese mixed with peaches? Yeah. That came back up. So, so far, I can eat scrambled eggs and yogurt. What the hell did I do to myself? I just wanna cry.

That is exactly how I felt yesterday. Yesterday was 6 days post op for me. My surgery was the 12th. I think my body is just not bouncing back as quickly as others. Mine was a revision surgery so I am chalking it up to that. Today is a bit better but I am still not completely on my game. I just feel off and a little tired and blah

That sounds delicious! Sorry you felt bad but the recipe sounds yummy. I'm usually a good cook but I have been getting hung up on the whole purée thing.

      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.
