Iamblessed everybody's surgeon is different. We can have puréed or cooked soft chicken, fish or Turkey. We can also have potato or sweet potato mashed and some other things at 3 weeks. I don't know about Tomato Soup. I know I can't have it because its acidic and cause reflux. You had hernia repair also, so maybe not a good idea.

Amp, you are depressing yourself. You have to get up and walk. You have to find something else to take your mind off of food. Food has literally been our lives, now you must focus on who you are without it. Food can not be your everything. YOU HAVE TO WALK. Your motivation is your health. Come on YOU CAN DO IT! we all can!!!!

I guess I am depressing myself, I don't know why though. I have been really good with my walking and staying positive but just the past few days I've felt defeated. Do you have any suggestions for soft food healthy Snacks? Do you breakup your walking throughout the day or do it all at once?

I break up my walking. I do 1/2 mile in morning and 1/2 mile in evening when sun goes down.

Amp, experiment with different seasonings, instead of same old thing. Go on Amazon and purchase bariatric cookbook for ideas to spice it up. Keep your head up!!

Great job!

So, is this 20 pounds since surgery, or since you started your liquid diet?

I just am not losing any weight on the liquid diet other than the initial 3-4 days from retained Water. The last 8 days or so, it has been pretty steady. Hard to believe I can not lose weight on 800 calories a day from the liquid diet... I am really hoping it will be different once I am sleeved in 2 days as this is making me have second thoughts...

I had my surgery on 5/21. I also had a hernia repair. The first night it was painful but that was from the hernia repair. Since then, things have gone well. I have no problems getting my Proteins and liquids in. I can drink fluids normally like I did before the surgery without needing to take small sips. I've been getting 90-120 grams of Protein daily. I have not had any real hunger pains but my tastes may have changed slightly. I still enjoy the Premier Protein shakes very much but today I tried a shake made from high protein milk and vanilla Unjury Protein Powder and found it much too sweet. I've been eating premier Protein Shakes, Unjury chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, and Greek yogurt. After 6 days, I have lost 10 pounds since the surgery. Can't wait to start puréed foods this weekend! I have absolutely no regrets about this decision!

I hate the Protein Shakes (isopure, the vanilla one) and the shakes given to me by the nutritionist! I had my surgery on the 5/21 and basically all I am having is half of a yogurt a day and some Gatorade to prevent dehydration, anyone have any tips???? Much needed! I'm down 20 lbs since I started my preop diet (5/14)

I was having the same issue. I lost 7lbs by day 8 and then nothing. Now on day 12 I finally dropped another 3lbs. It sure is easier to do when you see the weightloss. At day 10 I had a small cheat I just couldn't take it!

Ggchristian I am so jealous, lol. It's always been hard for me to get liquids in. Even with my full stomach. I'm stil drinking Water now. I started at 8 am. Lol, I can drink normally also and also had hernia repair, but I'm too full. I got in 45 grams of Protein today and 56 ounces of liquid. That's the most I've got in so far. Also sleeved on 5/21, 14lbs down. I'm am trying daily to get it all in. You are doing great!

[ggchristian 4]

Hang in there, Cherrytree. It will get easier. 14 pounds is great!!

[cherrytree15 78]

Thanks gg, it's a struggle.
