What's the best thing to try on my first day? I don't want something too harsh but also tasty! ( I don't eat oatmeal, grits or the such) thanks!

Yay! What a glorious day as I recall, lol. Obviously there's baby food (some better than others), but also pureed chili or the ricotta bake.

lol I can't see myself going for the baby food! [emoji23] I want to make ricotta bake but I'm missing ricotta cheese I have to get that. I have cottage cheese though... idk if that's a substitute as I've never used it.

The only way you'll know is to try it. If you heat it in a bowl in the microwave be sure to loosely cover it as it explodes and makes a mess. Let me know how you tolerated it. Fingers crossed for you!

So I ended up trying puréed chili. I tolerated it fine, a few grumbles but nothing crazy. The look kind of killed the enjoyment for me, and so did the texture lol it still beats liquids. I couldn't finish much- I'm not sure if that's out of fear or that I'm full (I can't really tell when I'm full) it was canned chili so the taste was okay, but I'll be making some homemade chili now that I know it goes down okay.

It's better to try tiny amounts. You did the right thing. I still haven't had chili but I'm craving it now. Glad it went well!

My faves: mashed cauliflower with a little Parmesan, with added Protein Powder. Same with zucchini. Also cottage cheese with sugar-free jam. I also get shredded chicken, put it in the mini food processor with 2TB plain Greek yogurt, a tiny bit of avocado mayo, and lemon pepper...a pretty tasty chicken salad. Re fried Beans hurt my stomach which was disappointing! For a treat I will have a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. I'll add unflavored Protein powder to sugar-free pudding.

      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.
