I am so glad I bought a package of baby spoons from the dollar store right before I started my second week. Since I'm allowed to have up to 2 tablespoons of applesauce, light yogurt, mashed potatoes or oatmeal for each meal 3 times a day. The baby spoons not only make it easier to eat over 20 minutes, the smaller spoons I think will trick my brain into not wanting bigger portions like before surgery.

I got the baby spoons & forks. But I find I take in a lot of air when eating Soup with the spoon so I've started just drinking from the bowl.

I got my fork and spoon also but I didn't get several. Should I. They weren't plastic kind. Please advise. Trying to get everything that is needed. I got the supply cups and mesh strains along with the meanings cups and spoons. Now I have to get Vitamins and Soup and sugar free popsicle and Water and juice. My list also mentions baby food. I haven't had to purchase that since my kids were babies. This is a lot but I know at the end it will be worth it for life.

Don't waste money on baby food, but if you don't have a nutra bullet or blender a hand cranked baby food grinder would he helpful. I made veggies in 1 pound batches and decided then into 4 oz mansion jelly jars and froze them. I also made hardy Soups the same way I thinned then with chicken broth when I was on liquids and ate them thick later. My NUT said to avoid canned cream and milk based soups as they are hard ghost n carbs.

      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.
