I feel good!! How about you? They have me doing every stage for two weeks each so next week I start the purée food! I'm excited just to chew lol. Do you feel your self getting hungry often? I'm getting hungry more often but all I really want to do is chug a water bottle down so bad.

Also what did you eat at the second stage? The doctor said anything that comes out of a blender basically.

Sorry it's taking me so long to respond I got a new phone . I was bad I didn't puree anything I just chewed it up a really super good. I did a lot of Peanut Butter and I would eat toast but I would chew it really good. Now I'm on week five and I just eat ... chew chew chew... I kinda had a hard time with refried Beans or any kind of beans. But now I'm good. I'm still testing different foods to make sure I can tolerate them. I hope this was helpful I feel like a terrible example. I was 156 lbs this morning!!! Wooohooo.... :)

Congratulations!!!!!!!! 156 would be a dream come true for me! Way to go ! Can I ask you what you started your weight with. Also thanks for the advice. I had my first egg this morning with spinach and cheese. Ate two bites chewed and chewed and that was it for me. So my left shoulder starts to hurt every time I eat. I called a specialist on it and they said its normal. It's my body sign your full. Strange right???

Going to have some yogurt for lunch and some Soup for dinner. These days I'm so busy and tired I don't have the time or energy

To eat and haven't had a Protein shake in so many days too. Once again a big congrats!!!!!!

My starting weight was 172. eggs are a good thing to start with ' date=' you get your Protein a little bit of fat and they're soft.[/quote']

How are you doing? Any more weight loss and are you eating more now?

I'm starting my regular food starting tomorrow. I didn't purée any thing in the purée stage. Just had a lot of Soup and soft stuff that I chewed to death lol. Don't know how my body will react to regular foods now or how often ill be able to eat.

      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.
