My doc's plan allowed for that, but many do not. If you don't have a guide book put out by your program, then call your doc's office and check on what their plan allows when.

My surgeons gave office gave me a huge binder filled with so much information. Every single question I could think of was answered within this manual. I was still on full liquids first week out. I just started pureed foods Monday and I am 3 weeks post op ... I would call your surgeons office and ask.

Those are considered purées. When are you allowed to have those? For me that was from weeks 2-4.

To be fair, I saw and heard people *in my program* who have had all the same education I had, and were still asking questions that made me wonder if they had not really been in the room with me the whole time. So, I don't think it's all just people not getting education they should -- some folks seem to just not have it sink in.

The seminar I went to was crazy. It was very informative and some people asked really good questions but some people man, I was wondering if there were even in the same room listening to the Dr. Lol.

I was in the pre-admit seminar at my hospital, and of the other two people, one didn't actually understand the surgery or what was going to be done to her. Both of the others were still having carbonated sodas -- one Diet Coke, one regular Coke -- and seemed surprised they were not going to be able to continue drinking them after surgery. Like, "WAIT, WHAT? But how will I manage that????" level of surprised.

I was given the guidelines of full liquids, pureed, ect, but my surgeon also encouraged adding foods faster than the schedule saying that would help heal quicker. I'm 2 weeks post op, still doing lots of Protein shakes, canned tuna, yogurt. Any solid or semi solid foods, I make sure to take small bites and chew very well.

My surgeon said the opposite! Take it easy on your stomach and let it heal... no point in stressing it and making it work harder.

I had one week of clear fluids, one week of full fluids (no dairy, no carbonation, no caffeine), then two weeks of purees (including scrambled eggs, applesauce, yogurt). Today I'm moving to soft foods like tuna, which will be for a week, then meat as tolerated.

For scrambled eggs - do you actually purée them after you cook them or are they soft enough as-is to eat during the purée stage?

      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.
