I've recently upgraded my diet to include scrambled eggs, tuna, applesauce, pureed fruit and veggies, etc. I've been doing ok, but eggs and tuna get stuck in my lower esophogus behind my breast plate. It takes a couple of minutes for the discomfort to relieve itself. I chew each bite 30 times before swallowing. I make sure that they're both very moist before trying to eat them. Is this normal. Will it eventually become easier?

Not uncommon. And yes it gets easier. Eventually TOO easy for most of us!

I'm surprised your diet includes puréed fruit though. Mine never did.

Only peaches and pears. Bananas are too high in sugar and I can't have seeds so berries are out. I don't care for any type of melon so that's not an issue.

      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.
