Well, I guess it's like I graduated from kindergarten to first grade. Lol

Yesterday, I went for my 2 week post-op follow-up. I FINALLY got those darn staples out (man, those were annoying!!)

I also was moved to purée! Yay!

I gotta tell ya, that first "bite" (sip, really) of Soup reminded me of an Eddie Murphy skit:

"If you're starving and somebody throw you a cracker, you gonna be like this: That's the best cracker I ever ate in my life! That ain't no regular cracker, was it? What was that, a Saltine? That was delicious. That wasn't no Saltine. That was... That was a Ritz. That wasn't a Ritz? God, that was the best cracker I ever ate in my life."

I could only get down about 1/4 cup puréed split pea soup before I felt STUFFED! It was the weirdest experience ever.

This morning I made myself one scrambled egg with some cream cheese mixed in, and it was almost TOO MUCH food! I was just thrilled I tolerated both the egg and the cheese.

After 4 weeks of liquid, and the surgery itself, this was the hardest 4 weeks of my life.

I am just absolutely ecstatic to have finally graduated! :)

Congrats and welcome to stage two!! :-)

But aw man I'm jealous!! My nut said no Soup, not even pea soup because it's high in sugar or something and Soups go right through you, and no cream cheese, and no this and no that. I can only eat weekdays on our list. Sigh. It's so hard to do when I hear others can eat yummy stuff like you are. I don't get it.

we are at the same stage, today I had a boiled egg for the first time but I threw up

for lunch I had a tiny bit of sardine but could not tolerate the smell

for dinner I was able to have chicken lunch meat although it feels like it is stuck in my throat

overall today was painful, maybe my body is not ready for soft foods

      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.
