@It's Time During my full liquids phase, I was allowed any kind of strained cream Soup, but advised to stay away from Tomato Soup because of its acidity. Have you tried any other cream Soups? My favorites were Campbell's condensed cream of shrimp and Progresso's chicken cheese enchilada.

Jamie I have not tried any others but my spouse found cream of chicken, which I'm going to try for dinner. I will look up your other suggestions because I have struggled with the cream Soups. It's funny how plans are different Tomato Soup is actually listed as an option for me - I wonder if it's due to me eating creamy Tomato that I haven't experienced any issues with acidity.

I actually start purée on Tuesday and will try tuna and the ricotta bake if you have any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated [emoji16]

Make sure you really drown the tuna in mayo. My first time eating tuna was my first time really struggling with not being able to drink and eat at the same time. It was so dry!

I definitely will, thanks for the tip - one great thing for me is that I have never been a drinker when I eat, so hopefully I won't have a hard time with the time between eating and drinking [emoji120]

I didn't have to do water only the day before, I just couldn't eat past midnight. Just to be safe I ate my 4 oz meat and cup of veggies for lunch and did a shake for dinner and refused to put anything in my mouth past 8. It's almost over and will be so worth it

Being hungry only gets easier from here because you initially will have no appetite and when it returns your tummy only will take so much yayyyyy for tomorrow

Update - down 38 pounds total, 19 since surgery. I started the week off, switching to puréed and although I food prepped and thought I was ready, my tummy said no. tuna and received Beans were a definite no and everything else other than yogurt has given me extreme acid reflux. Called the doctors office and was told again that I should not be experiencing this since I had a hernia repair but I digress. They put me on nexium twice a day, which has apparently not kicked in yet and I ended up choking up foam yesterday at work, which I read is gerd. I'm so annoyed with not being able to eat but have switched back to Protein Shakes since they go down well sigh. Clothes are fitting better and my scars are trying to finally rid themselves of some of this surgical glue.

I have found that I am a daily weigh person but haven't decided if it's best or if I should switch to weekly. I seem to average about a pound a day but as many others, I am impatient[emoji16] I know I didn't gain the weight over night but I sure do want it to come off over night heheheheheh

I really can't wait until I am 100% as I am so ready for some extreme working out [emoji123]???? whelp that's all for now

Tracey - how was surgery? I pray all is well and you are walking and sipping away [emoji16]

It will get better...I was tired for the first few days, are you taking B12 yet? Your tummy may not like everything so if something makes you feel funky try something else. My surgeon said focus on Fluid initially because we don't want to get dehydrated, the Protein intake will increase with time. Also don't push yourself, if you feel full or uncomfortable, stop

Sending hugs and healing your way [emoji51]

      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.
