Now the "mad scientist recipe adapting" phase starts. It really can be so interesting exploring what you can make or remake old family favorites into more WLS friendly versions.

Enjoy this stage. It really can be joyful.

Have you tried Ricotta Bake yet? http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html It is actually pureed food technically but boy does it hit the spot!

Good luck! And PS - If you haven't seen this on the board yet, please know that MOST hit a stall at 3 weeks. Do not panic if you do. It is normal. Just stay off the scale if you can and focus on how your clothes are fitting.

@@isa209 - Oh let me tell you that I have weighed pretty much every single day in the last 10 1/2 months (only when I didn't have access to my scale did I miss). As I have neared goal, I need to try and wean off the scale before it drives me crazy so my therapist challenged me to put it away and only weigh once per week. That was Thursday. Today is the first day I actually didn't weigh. :D So definitely easier for me to say than do!!

Keep up the great work!!

      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.
