I've eaten some hummus with no problems, low fat small curd cottage cheese, cream Soups like chicken, and some baby foods that are low sugar low carb. Not much available in the baby aisle that is low sugar.

I think my system is finally through revolting over some children's tylenol and scrambled eggs that I did not puree. I need to be more patient.

Here is the recipe for Ricotta Bake (may be the same one you have above - I cannot see it). Also some other good ideas.

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html

I ate a lot of fat free refried Beans with cheese melted on top; hummus (yes just with a spoon); Pimento cheese spread; Laughing Cow cheese wedges; sugar free pudding with 1/2 scoop Protein Powder mixed in; Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (Key Lime and strawberry Cheesecake are my favorites) with 1/2 scoop Protein powder mixed in....

I like the refried Beans with cheese melted on top a lot. I'll do that one too. I do eat the hummus just with a spoon. Love it. I also love the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt and I do eat those as well. The scoop of Protein powder mixed in is a great idea for upping protein! Thanks for that advice.

Hi! I got my approval for food yesterday!! I don't have to go to puréed foods, I wonder why? I can have any meats (softer the better) and a whole list of veggies and fruits no bread, no Pasta. Last night I had 2 oz of chicken and 2 tbsp steamed carrots. It was like heaven in my mouth. Hahahaha good luck to everyone getting started with food again!!

Hello Everyone, my name is Carla and today I took the first step and called for an appointment because I'm tired of making excuses, I'm tired of trying to loose weight and working so hard but not seeing a lot of results. I've been thinking about weight loss surgery for so long and today I was on Facebook and saw a friend's post about being 2 weeks post op so I sent her a message with some questions, and we went back and forth for a bit and then I made the call. She told me about this app so I downloaded it and have been reading everyone's experiences and to be honest I'm a little scared now. Reading about people feeling sick, not wanting to get out of bed and not being able to eat is freaking me out! If anyone has the time to message me back and let me know what the steps are from your first appointment on, I would really appreciate it. My appointment isn't until May 11th so I would love to get a heads up on what to expect. Congratulations to all of you and I wish you all the best on your new journeys!

I forgot to mention that I am opting to have the sleeve!

@@Daisysgro Congrats on taking your first step into WLS! Post-op from WLS can be difficult for the first few weeks - but I would bet 99% of those that have posted about not feeling well would do it again in a minute. It's not easy - you have to change your eating habits and lifestyle. Keep looking at this site - and especially some of the posts about success and before & after pictures! Write down your questions to ask your surgeon. Call your insurance and ask what steps are necessary for bariatric surgery approval? What steps after your appointment will depend on your surgeon and your insurance requirements. Many programs have you go to a group informational session, you meet with your surgeon, then most likely have a psych evaluation and a nutritionist evaluation. My insurance requires 6 months of a supervised weight loss program before they will approve (I was not thrilled about that) and I'm using that time to learn more and get some help with some emotional eating issues. Good luck on your journey!!!

I think it's great you are on this site right off the bat...you will be making a very informed decision.

My surgery is scheduled for May 24th and I'm also trying to soak in ALL the information I can.

      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.
