Tnix--honestly, if that is all you can eat, I think you are too restricted. The key is to be restricted enough to keep you from overeating, but still be able to eat real food--not just mushies. To me, good restriction means still being able to eat what I want--lean Protein, veggies, fruit, etc., but not being able to eat much of it. If I were only able to eat mashed potatoes and peas, I would go back and get a slight unfill. You need to be able to eat real food.< /p>

I second Connies post. I too think that you need a slight unfill. my doc never wanted us to eat mashed potatoes anyway. Carbs. I like fat free refried Beans with a little shredded cheese and some sour cream. try that after you talk to your doc.

If that's all I could eat I'd be having some fill out. I can eat a normal (if small portioned) diet at 2.5 mls - including bread.< /p>

      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.
