When were you told you could start purees? Just curious if everyone is made to wait 2 weeks.

I was puréed for lunch day after surgery for two weeks(I'm only 12 days out, follow-up tomorrow), then two weeks soft foods, then "regular" foods...of course, only get bumped to next stage if tolerating current stage.

Seems like a wide range of doctor's orders on food stages!

Mine is 6 weeks, then puréed, but I feel no hunger or urge to drink so it super hard for me to get in all my liquids

jerica-I'm hungry right after I have my Protein. It doesn't even seem like an hour. I think I need to drink more continuously and we should be having protein every hour or 2.

I was told by my dietician to spread my Protein Shake through out the whole day, as liquids can go straight through our stomachs you probably miss the satisfaction of being full, but I Gather from other topics here the restriction feeling sometimes isn't felt in the liquid stage. Also you may have some head hunger. Persevere with your sips x

      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.
