Just a thought not sure if this will work but I do this as a snack and noticed the skin isn't as bad. I freeze them for like 30 min to an hour and then eat them. I know if sounds wierd but you can also peel the skin off.

I actually have to take 2 bites with a little time in between, to eat one grape!!

Then after eating 6-8 of them, I cannot eat anything more....

3-4 bites to eat one shrimp....and so on...

I love grapes myself. My trick is since the skin is hard to grind up with ur teeth, I just eat the grapes normally and all the inside of the grape comes out by itself. And your just left with the skin. So I just spit it out. Sounds weird but it works for me. So that way I'm not wasting time peeling the grape or worrying about if I chewed the grape enough. Hope this makes sense. Lol

I just simply bite, chew, and swallow. No problem with grapes. It is one of the few fruits I don't have a problem with.

I use the lowfat lowcal canned fruit that I wash the sugars out of the fruit. They come with skinless grapes.

      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.
