I am on my third week and I am on puréed foods. Everyone has been telling me to try the ricotta bake. I made it tonight it tasted like heaven but after 3 bites I was sick. It was sitting in my chest and I felt like throwing up but didn't. Why would I feel like that if I was allowed this and I don't know what could have hurt me. I'm disappointed the one thing that actually taste good and I get sick. I feel like I will never eat my favorite foods ever again. I am so upset!!!

It might have been the Tomato sauce or cheese. I couldn't handle either of those at 3 weeks postop. (Took me about 10 weeks to really get comfy with those).

Try not to despair. You'll be able to eat real food again, just maybe not so soon. {Hugs}

I am 3 weeks out and I'm on puree too. Only difference is I've been on puree since day 5. It's does get better! It might just be that it was a little too heavy. I wouldn't give up on it, just try eating one bite and then leaving it for half an hour. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get things down but it's worth it because I like knowing I'm slowly giving my body some nutrients (: just bet use to eating things cold for a while! But yes I know the lump feeling you're talking about. I've found personally that comes from eating heavier foods to quick. I think it's might be the food moving into the sleeve slowly. Because it's thicker it takes a bit longer to get through the opening. I fix it with a hot drink. Just a couple mouth fulls to help dissolve and break up whatever is sitting there. (: hope this helps

I had same experience as you. Thought it was great until it felt like the whole pan was sitting on my chest! Too soon, I guess. I tell myself walking helps with that discomfort. My just be in my head, but by the time I'm done I feel better.

      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.
