It never ceases to amaze me that total strangers go out of their way to take the time to offer their support, advice, and kind words to people they've never met before. Thank you all so much!

The folks above had some awesome suggestions. I will also look at http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2010/03/plan-for-success.html

This is very beneficial site that a RNYer blogged about her WL journey. She also has some good recipes too for each stage.

Later Loser!

I am also a very picky eater but I am going to treat my smaller stomach like a new baby and try to have an open mind about ALL foods and try whatever at least once. I am hoping that with all the taste changes after surgery that I will like many new things that I try. I hope you find plenty of things that you like too.

Before my surgery I spoke to the Nutritionist and went over the different stages of the diet. When we talked about puree food, she said I could eat anything I could stand in puree form. So I said 'So if I puree spagetti, I can have it?" Totally expecting her to say no. But she said yes. So I can't wait for that. I've made up my mind to stay away from a lot of the foods that got me into this mess though. So I would say be careful, but don't feel like you have to live in a box with only a few options. =)

      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.
