I am three weeks post-op and this whole past week I've been struggling mentally with the no chewing/all pureed diet. I want something more substantial than Soups, cottage & ricotta cheese, and yogurt. Anything I try that is thicker or heavier such as refried Beans or pureed chicken/gravy, it just goes down like sludge and sits like a rock in my esophagus. The thickest most substantial food I've been eating is cream of wheat with unflavored Protein powder.

But today I ate one entire scrambled egg! It was like eating real food! I got to chew something up and swallow. It went right down with no sticking and no upset stomach issues. I can feel the restriction but it's a 'Not Hungry' feeling as opposed to a 'So Full And Stuck' feeling.

My outlook has changed! My tiny quick moment of regret has passed. I can eat eggs!!

Scramble them super soft with a bit of Gouda and finely diced onion and spinach when you get permission. It's heavenly. I lived off crust less quiche during my soft foods stage. Mine lasted about 6 weeks, so I made every type of quiche imaginable.

I, too, discovered eggs during week 2 and they have been the one food that has not made me feel bad. I love making omelettes, using Pam in a nonstick skillet, I sautee some diced sweet onion and green pepper til done, then add my beaten egg, seasoned with tabasco, salt and pepper. When egg is almost set, I add some cheddar cheese and fold over, and I have a delicious omelette. I have yet to finish a whole one, usually end up with a bite or two left, but it doesnr hurt my stomach and I feel like I have eaten "real" food.

      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.
