Yes. It's on my puree stage foods. :) I've eaten grits several times (I'm 4 weeks post op) and they were good! I added a little scrambled egg to mine too for a little Protein.< /p>

I could eat really runny grits on week 2 as a full liquid. Depends on your plan and your surgeon but I'd say you are safe :)

Ok, I was wondering about grits too, thanks for asking!! I am in week 3 right now and don't feel like I am losing weight like I should. I lost 21 lbs the first two weeks and nothing since, Oct 29 will be 3 weeks since surgery..is this normal? Am I doing something wrong...and I don't know how to start a new thread/topic/or post..can someone give me some direction? Thanks!

Wow! That is a large loss for two weeks, don't you think? How much did you expect to realistically lose?

I agree it is a lot, I'm just concerned because I'm at a zero loss for this week. Do you lose weight every week? Is it normal to not lose any weight right after surgery?

Yes, it is totally normal to not lose weight for a week. There will be stalls, this is not a linear thing. Read some of the threads before yours - this is a very common thing, so you are so not alone. Chin up - things are going well!

      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.
