I was so excited to eat something that wasn't liquid then I did. I got not even a spoonful in and kept burping. Now I'm full. So not satisfying...

Just started week five and I swear, it is like a switch was flipped. My capacity increased a little so that I actually enjoy a meal, not just tolerate it. My energy picked up too probably as a result of the slightly increased capacity. Hang in there. One thing you can count on with this process is a constant state of change!

Week 6 here and I agree with slvrsax...I can handle about 2 oz of some soft chicken or fish, and a tablespoon or two of mashed veggies. Takes me 20+ minutes to do it, but I'm further ahead then I was a week ago when trying to eat 1 oz was difficult to get that down. It can only get better. I am finding some foods give me great discomfort when even trying to eat them slow. It's like they get stuck going down!

I am on the mushy food stage and it seems everything I eat gives me indigestion. Did anyone else have this problem and if so what did you do?

      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.
