@@SilentBotts there is not much that i can have, for the last 3 days I haven't had anything because it just comes back up and today Water started making me sick. They gave me zofran to see if that will help with it.

I was the same way. I took Zofran and a medicine that kept my stomach from cramping for three months post op. I could only drink watered down Gatorade for the first few weeks. I slimed like a beast and still throw up some days. ARGH.

But totally worth it.

This will pass.

I never suggested for her to eat cucumber on purée stage. I said " as soon as your plan allow you to have cucumber... That was just a idea and a better choice than cracker later on....

I have carbs on my menu. My nut says I can have it: pureed rice, pureed Pasta but I choose not to just because only the thought of pureed rice/pasta makes me sick. Moderation is the key not avoiding completely carbs. Think about it if you don't eat it for 6-8 months when you gonna start eating the carbs again the weight will pile back on with vengeance. As I said before I believe you can be successful if you stick to the natural stuff and ditch all the other stuff that brought you here in the first place. As for crackers, it might be a bit too early.

I totally agree. :D

My sushi guy uses cucumber instead of rice to hold my sushi together. It's awesome. Red peppers work, too. (Not for sushi, for salads and dips.)

@@s.thompson, I don’t think you can have crackers on the pureed foods diet. Are they listed among the approved foods that you have a list of? Generally, like @@Inner Surfer Girl says, you want to keep your pureed foods foods that you can eat with a spoon. They should be perfectly smooth. Crackers can be sharp and bother the wounds of your sleeve – remember, you’re still healing.

      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.
