I just started pureed foods, and my surgery was on the 16th. So far I have tried; egg, swiss cheese, applesauce, canned chicken with light mayo and salsa. I bought a can of the chunky Soup that has potatoes and beef. I'm going to puree that and try it.

are you lifting over 10 pounds yet? I've picked my son up a couple of times out of necessity. He's 25 lbs.

Did you go from clear liquid to puree? No full liquids?

Call your surgeons office. When was your surgery. When in doubt, call.

so far I'm having no issues with lifting him. I try to keep him away from my boo boo. It's mainly getting him out of the crib. I kind of have 0 motivation today. The idea of even making a Protein Shake makes me tired lol. I might go make some Cookies for my child, only because I can turn the oven on and I am pretty cold today.

I'm starting to wonder how big my pouch is. I pureed a cup of Soup and never did I get full. I prob ate 3/4 of cup of it. Maybe because it was pureed?

Went from having a good amount of energy to none over the last few days... Ugh. Just dragging... Perhaps it has all caught up with me! And I gained a few pounds... I am taking that as just part of the cycle... Tomorrow will be a better day. I will stop complaining now... Just because I am too tired B-)

Yeah and trying to find a pill container to find them all is a joke too.

      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.
