laurenella82 625 Posted February 20, 2015 How about if I make my own baked.tortillia? I've five that before. No added crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted February 20, 2015 As long as it's mushy you can make whatever you want. Some people are making re-fried Beans with melted cheese on top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laurenella82 625 Posted February 20, 2015 There something on my paperwork that says 2nd and 3rd weeks at home I can do pureed and creamy foods. And add in soft/mushy and "crispy" foods as tolerated. Crispy foods because they will disintegrate when pls ed with liquids and are combined with soft foods. It mentions baked tortillia chips! How happy am I??? But its sad that guac is not a significant source of Protein. 1/4 cup is about 1.5g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 20, 2015 It's head hunger. It sucks. I'm almost 3 weeks out and I still can't handle hardly anything. Half a cup of Soup and today I had tuna with shredded cheese and low fat mayo. It went down super easy but only one tablespoon. I was a full after... Stick to the diet and watch my 600lb life, it helps lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick to the diet and watch my 600lb life, it helps lol That's the same thing I was thinking. I've been trying to get down thus Protein Drink since about 8:30 and now its backing up in my throat. I'm scared to lay down. I think its really just that nothing has texture and I just need some texture....and a little saltiness lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 20, 2015 I have the same problem. It takes me about 2-3 hours to get down one Protein Shake that's 9oz. I really don't have time to eat. I have to get up super early to start the process and take my steroid.. If I don't take that, Water hardly goes down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess T 6 Posted February 20, 2015 My liquid phase is 4 weeks! Then puréed for at least 2 weeks and then I can try mushies. I wonder why the phases vary so much with different surgeons?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeminiSleever 43 Posted February 20, 2015 I get you completely. I'm 11 days post-op and starving. I'm sitting here with a disgusting Protein Shake in my hand that I've been nursing for about an hour now. Can't get it down. Every shake is more disgusting than the last. I start purées/Mushies finally on Sunday. Cannot wait to have tuna salad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veronica Page 488 Posted February 20, 2015 Stick with your diet and don't give in to the head hunger. We all go through it. It stinks and is really boring and hard but what you don't need is to sabotage yourself. I feel that is we start eating unhealthy again now and just keep doing it because we are losing weight then why bother with the surgery? I was DYING for something salty and flavorful when I was on a liquid diet. My post op SUCKED I was Clear Liquids for 2 WEEKS....2 WEEKS! Then finally full liquids it was a mental nightmare but now I can eat solids and it is pretty great. Just remember your stages and it will be fine. In pureed stage I ate a lot of cream of what Soups they were filling and also satisfied my salt and flavor needs! Good luck you are doing great so far!
