Happy to hear you are feeling so well. Since its fresh in your mind, how did switching from clear to all liquids to purée go?? How has everything gone? I hope I feel as good as you.

I just had yogurt and cottage cheese so far, smooth sailing so far. The baby spoons help a lot. I was a huge food guzzler.

My phase 3 is called puree/soft and is strict, no vegetables, fruit and no Soups. It is suppose to last 6-8 weeks. It is extreme boring and hard. I found the real mushie and soft foods easy like eggs, hummas, refried Beans. Anything of substance whether I blenderize or use my teeth totally exhausting such as chicken or fish. My tummy can tolerate but no more than an ounce or two. Depending on Protein shakes to help me meet my daily requirements

Keep the faith. My first couple of days sucked - I was nauseous and sore - but I wasn't miserable - keep your eye on the prize and move, even if you are moving slowly.

I stayed in the hospital 3 nights because of nausea and vomiting - once I went home I ditched the pain meds and the nausea went away. I'd rather deal with sore than nauseous so it's a trade off that works for me.

I'm 10 days out now and doing ok. Still some pain in the muscle under one incision but I feel like it's days are numbered.

Great things are ahead for us!

I was sleeved 8/30 and have been very happy so far. I have been working on getting my Protein and Water up. So far I'm getting about 45 grams Protein and 40 oz Water. I can definite tell when I take too big of a sip I will feel a really big bubble in my tummy. What are you struggling with???

      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.
