I'm almost three weeks out 9/25 will be three weeks. My post-op was only a week of full liquids, 1 week mushies, 1 week soft. Even on soft foods where you can eat most anything as long as its the right consistency its so boring and my hunger is back with a vengence. Today my daughter and I shared some fat-free no sugar added, strawberry frozen yogurt with some granola in it and I swear it was the best thing I have put in my mouth in a over a month. I get filled on 10/9 and I CANNOT wait. 2 weeks and 3 days! I know you are all feeling. Good luck till your 1st fill!

Hang in there it gets much better. I was banded on Aug 24th and have lost a total of 42 lbs since then. I just started eating chicken and tuna last Friday. The key during the mushie stage is to find something that you like and be creative. I loved taking meatless spagetti sauce and adding riocotto cheese to it. Another thing I enjoyed was steaming some brocolli and cauliflower throwing it in my magic bullet (which is the best thing ever) and adding a little Cambell's chedder chez Soup to it!

The one thing that I try to tell myself is that nothing tastes as good as being thin will feel!!!

Have a great day!

      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.
