Had surgery dec 9th Went for the test on dec 10th. Passed one test not the other. So I threw up everything I tried. Bad time. So had surgery on dec 10th again. This time for an obstruction. Spent 12 days in hospital. Developed 2 infected incisions. They had to be opened and drained n packed. Sent home with a home health nurse to pack incisions once a day. After my incision expelled mucus type stuff the incision is now healing. I'm on puréed stage now. Hard to get all that food in and the liquid. But I'm trying. Got sick from cod fish. Was toooo heavy. I've not dumped just loads of pain. Dry heaved twice but that's it. Need food ideas lol

23 lbs gone ~~

Sounds like you have been through a lot! Hopefully you are on the mend now. I'm not sure about your surgery post diet plan as it generally varies by surgeons. If the cod fish was too heavy maybe try a bit more soft or mush for a little while longer. We all heal differently and maybe your new pouch isn't ready just quiet yet. Again maybe surgeons have different plans of progressing through the stages of liquids, mushy, soft, and solids.

The World according to Eggface is another site you can find by using google. She has a lot of great bariatric ideas and recipes.

      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.
