Hi all,

i had my surgery on March 26. i went home the next morning and i only took the pain medicine that night. i felt like the pain was tolerable. i have now officially lost 52 pounds since my highest weight of 348 a month ago. when i started my two week pre-op liquid diet i was at 326. the day of surgery i weighed in at 319. i didnt lose too much on the diet. today im at 296 which is amazing. people are already telling me they can see the difference. i started the phase two diet which is the pureed diet. this is where im having a little bit of an issue. i cant get past cooking something and then just blending it. it doesnt taste good to me at all.

do you guys have any suggestions?

Highest Weight; 348lb

Surgery Weight: 319lb

Current Weight: 296lb

Goal Weight : 190-200lb

I never blended anything. I was allowed to choose soft foods and chew till puree. I ate pimento cheese, yogurt, canned chicken, ricotta bake, etc.

I didn't care for the pureed texture, either. Other than blended Soups, I pretty much stayed with liquids until I could do soft foods at 4 weeks.

      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.
