Your surgeon's postop diet plan will dictate when you start solid foods. And I suggest following his/her instructions to a T. I only introduced one new thing /day through every stage. I transitioned very slowly, ate very slow and chewed chewed chewed. Had no problems.

Per my surgeon's plan, I was on full liquids for four weeks, then purees for four weeks, then on to soft solids. I followed his instructions faithfully and had no problems.

I was purée - after 1 week

Then onto soft foods two weeks after that

Have just been cleard for solids but I still haven't tried steak or anything

Raw veggies kind of hit my tummy a little hard.

Or at leadt the carrots and broccoli did. Lol

Had corned beef this week. Yummy!!!!

But mostly still a lot of fish and some poultry and occasionally ground beef

Am going to make chicken shish Ka bab tonite and hubby having hanger steak. I may try a bite.

Gotta say turning into a pescatarian and I don't mind really!

      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.
