Hi there. I'm 10 days post op and I've just about had enough of liquid diet. I feel like I need some sort of food to just feel like I'm eating.

Could anyone tell me when they started eating things like mashed potatoes after their surgery please?

Nadia I'm 13 days post op. Mashed potatoes were added for me last week. Have you tried the sugar free popsicles? They help. I completely understand, I am so ready to chew something but we have to make sure that are stomachs can handle everything first.

my doc has me on full liquids first 3 weeks. I'm so sick of it too. I'm allowed yogurt and Soups etc. today was my first day back at work and I ordered a Soup from a local chinese restaurant (chicken and noodle soup) told them to hold the noodles, hold the chicken lol. just had the broth...it was heaven! so good. Mainly because it was different than what I've been eating at home (home made Soups i'm now sick of). i can't wait to have puree's and soft foods next week.

I feel exactly the same. I'm so sick of soup and I'm counting the days until I can eat lol. I know this is worth it but roll on puree food ????

      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.
