2 weeks out from sleeve surgery. Time to add smashed fish, tuna, scrambled eggs & steamed veggies into the diet. Only problem is that just the smell of them makes me nauseous. ......?????? What to do???? Does anyone have advice on how to get past this hurdle??

I would not force it. We all are different. I know my doc said 2 weeks but I did not start till about 3 weeks. If you are tolerating the Protein drinks and getting Water in etc you could wait. I know by the time I had my first mushy food I was drooling for it. I had mayo and tuna. I could only get 2 bites in but that is how it goes. Soup you can get more in so maybe stay on strained Soup for awhile. I did canned chicken with mayo also. Just make sure it is mashed up real good!! The longer you let your tummy heal the better ( just my opinion) :blush:

I am tolerating the Protein Drinks very well. The carbs like mashed potatoes and cream of wheat I tolerate well too. Also the applesauses and fruit juice i do fine on. I think it really is the smell of the fish, eggs, Soups and more savory items that's really bothering me. Maybe I should just back off on those for another week or two like you said. Thanks for the response and help!

      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.
