Hello. I just joined this site today because I am still figuring all of this out. My surgery was 28 February and I'm still on soft foods and liquids. I dehydrated last week and required 4 liters of IV, but now I'm feeling better.

I'm asking for suggestions and ideas for foods to eat during the second month. I love to cook, but haven't since before my surgery. I would love to cook again so recipes are definitely welcome!

Thank you in advance for any suggestions and ideas.

Scrambled eggs

Protein Powder in sugar free pudding

Baked or air fried fish (with almond or coconut flour if you want it be like fried)

Ground beef (this is probably end of month 2 more risky)

Protein mug cakes

Baked ricotta is a yummy soft food. I ate a lot of tunafish mixed with hummus at this stage or those tuna creations in yummy flavors becuase it added to Protein content. There is also canned chicken and crab if you can stand that. No mayo of course but I find the hummus a very yummy alternative, or avocado and lemon. If it is too hard for your tummy I recommend using a food processor. I also ate greek yogurt, mashed sweet potato with a little olive oil, homemade protein ice cream was a favorite too, fat free re-fried Beans with a little taco seasoning and fat free sour cream on top heated in the microwave. Hope any of these help!

      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.
