Nesa, that would be an awful/wonderful meal to be around. I am craving Mexican food since surgery Nov. 18, and tasted a piece of canned tamale. Heavenly and soft. I celebrated New Year's Eve with 1 piece tonight, and ice Water. Happy New Year and good luck!!!

Ugh yes it's a awful yet wonderful meal. Me being Mexican I'm around Mexican food everyday. I bet that tamale was amazing I can't wait to taste one just a taste that's all lol. Thank you

I feel your pain. I am on day 11 on a three week pre-op liquid diet. My family just made awesome looking, while I got to eat jello..... yum. I just keep reminding myself that at some point I will be able to chew food again. Happy New Year! 2014 is a great year for change.

Thank you, yes sooner then later we will be able to have something to chew. Woohoo we will be thinner and healthy in 2014.

I found foods like guacamole, hummus, cream cheese, refried Beans, warmed applesauce, and creamed Soups a lifesaver. They felt like "real foods" because they are and so delicious. Just because you usually eat it on a chip or a cracker doesn't mean you HAVE to!

That sounds delicious I can't wait. Soon I'll be able to.

I have a feeling that it will be very difficult on the liquid or puree phase for me because I have children that I cook for everyday.

Just take your wonderful family recipes and rework them with FF sour cream, cream cheeses cottage cheese, and FF Soups cooked in crockpot with chicken and spices. So many food combinations there.

Make a lowfat Soup with FF chicken broth thickened with FF refried Beans and spices and veggies. Your kids might like to try new foods. pizza is a killer, I would hate to have it near me Mona. If you have traveled this far you know you cannot keep eating pizza. Learn to make vegetarian pizzas and sneak in blended veggies in the sauce, your kids will not even know they are there.

Your kids deserve eating healthier and I so wish you the best of luck! I know how hard it will be but you are on a MISSION~~~~~!!!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
