So I went to my two weeks appointment today I get to eat soft mushy foods yay! Problem is had a little mashed potatoes and it was nasty. So I have to go on the road I was wondering like if I could find something to eat somewhere. Like Wendy's or mccalisters something help please!

In my humble opinion, the best option is to pack a cooler with foods that you know are on your plan and palatable. There is a lot of uncertainty when you are on the road which could lead to a situation where there are no options that are on plan.

Can you bring food with you? Mashed potatoes was never on my list for mushy foods. What other items are on your list? Can you travel with any of those. When I first started foods, I was worried and made sure to be home just in case I had an issue. Maybe you could mash up come chili from Wendy's?

Wendy's chili was not on my plan, nor were mashed potatoes. On my plan, my travel foods during the puree foods stage were cottage cheese, chicken salad, and sugar free Jello. If your plan allows yogurt, that is a good option to pack too.

No one is going to have the same plan. Example most people had a liquid diet pre-op I had 1500 calories. So I don't think anyone plan is going to say the same thing.

I agree. Always best to check with your program before deciding to consume anything. If Wendy's chili is on your plan then go for it.

Yeah I'm close to 5 weeks out and am learning I need to take Protein Drink or powder EVERYWHERE in case I suddenly get shaky and need Protein. I should invest in a little cooler so I can take Greek yogurt or other options. You won't need carbs when you are out and about. Not for the first months. Save those for at home.

      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.
