Be strong you can get through it. I had my surgery on June 29. Although I have been able to tolerate foods. My emotions have been all over the place as well. I had regrets, but I also had to pray and realize that this was the best decision for my life. You can do it. Where are you located?

Hello hun I'm from PA. I do believe that in the long run this is the best. What types of things are you eating. And how much. I can not tolerate chicken... tuna is OK. And egg whites r OK. Cream of wheat is OK too. But we shouldn't have that.

I have eaten mash potatoes, baked Beans, livermush, thin grits, and eggs, I have eaten tuna, and tonight o had chicken salad. I have also had yogurt,cheese, and a piece of turkey meat, apple sauce. I don't have much when I eat because I don't want to waste food. Just a little bit to see if I can handle it. My doctor had me on a liquid diet for a week, then puréed for a week, then soft food for two week, and then a normal diet. Right now I'm on the soft diet.

Yes my doc also had me on 2 week liquid after surgery. And then said I may eat like normal just only enough as big as an egg. Nothing more. But he never said stay away from carbs and the bad stuff. I guess that's common sense. But.... Now baked Beans aren't they high in sugar. And if u don't mind what ur highest weight. And current weight. Being u had your surgery a week after me I'm curious to see how we differ.

The baked beans that I had I eliminated a lot from the so they weren't that sweet. Are you chewing your food good? When I had surgery I was 379.. At one point my highest weight was 395. Before I had surgery I had to go on a two two week high Protein, low carb diet. I haven't gotten on the scale since surgery, but I will tomorrow when I go to my two-week post-op follow up. How about you?

I would just take it slow and try different things to see what works for you. Do you still drink the Protein Shakes?

I've been doing pretty good! Able to eat a decent range of soft foods now, trying to exercise at least 40min/day. Hardest part is getting all my Protein in, but I'm doing 2 Protein shakes a day, each with 25g so that jumps me to 50 pretty quick. I am just so looking for when i 'notice' I've lost weight. I'm down 26lbs and it just hasn't made much a difference in clothes or appearance yet.

      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.
