I know everyone is different, but I am just trying to get an idea of how many weeks after surgery did you guys start eating solids? :)

I was supposed to start solid foods today (at one month post-op) but I anticipated a bit and had some things earlier this week--I have had no problems at all with any food since the surgery (other than not liking some things--canned chicken, ugh). I've been eating fish, eggs, cheese . . . had a little hamburger but probably will wait a while before trying that again. I'm having a hard time getting all the Protein I need without relying on shakes, but I'm trying to do that.

Week 5 I started solids... lean ground turkey party, cheese sticks, very lean hamburger patty, chicken. Not very adventurous with trying new things though. I agree, couldn't do the canned chicken!!! 😳 And it doesn't help I'm sure that I eat no fish.

I'm still in phase one 3 weeks out, and am supposed to be able to go to mush soft foods next week and I cannot wait!! I'm dying for something different! I have actually strained some chicken noodle Soups and keep a couple of the noodles in there and chew them til there's nothing left, and it taste so good!! I've also chewed on a couple of saltine crackers, as they turn to mush real easy too. I've just been so hungry and getting tired of eating the same ole stuff. I've been able to handle everything really well. If I start to feel full, mostly from my shakes I stop for awhile.

      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.
