@ Be careful with baby food - my NUT doesn't recommend it because it's not as Protein rich and often has hidden sugars.

My program actually recommends baby food over pureeing your own. Just the plain stuff, stage 1 and 2, nothing with rice, noodle, or potato. I'm also still drinking quite a few Protein shakes/smoothies.

My first post surgery checkup was yesterday. I was down 14 pounds right on target. I am trying to only weigh every 2 weeks. I am still amazed how different doctors prescribe different diets post op.

Had surgery on 5/20, am down 16 pounds and am very very tired of full liquid diet!

I had mine a day before yours and I can tolerate solids food now, very little, but it's so much better

3weeks yesterday and down 16 pounds. I'm still on soft foods until day 40 then I can transition to normal foods. My energy is still a little zapped but I'm sure that will improve with time.

      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.
