Girly, when I woke up this morning I finally had a sense of accomplishment. I didn't feel so lost and adrift. I am so happy to begin working with my own body to get to live a full life again! Sheesh, it was really getting to me! Thanks so much for all your support. I appreciate it so much.

I totally understand because I felt the exact same way as you, you're going to do great!! message me or inbox me anytime, I'm just about 2.5 months out so I'm still new to the process and learning my body too, we can help and encourage each other 😉

Ok so I am officially on pureed foods as of today. I was burned out on creamed Soups for sure and the one lil cheat I had when I nibbled a cookie Saturday showed me that sugar tastes like crap now... so lesson learned.

So today I had....2oz of cottage cheese which was quite tasty and I wanted to eat more but nothing else was fitting in my new tummy. Then I had a scrambled egg with cheese on it, was right at 2oz there too and even yummier than the cottage cheese. And then I had spiced up tuna and mayo. The clouds parted and the angels sang! My tummy and mouth are happier than they have been in soooooo long.

Heh, who knew tuna with mayo was so good.

Tuna with mayo was the very first "real" food I had after the liquid/puree stage. I got one morsel into my mouth and started sobbing. My husband thought I was in pain but I just couldn't wrap my head around how magical it was to taste something flavorful that I could chew.

Hee hee, yes! You totally understand the nirvana that happened in my mouth at that moment! It was amazing!

Yes! The ricotta bake is soooooo good! I have done egg salad and refried Beans with cheddar and sour cream and chili (bean not meat) pureed and it's just made a world of difference in how I feel emotionally even.

@FlyAwayFree iv done egg slad too but still have a hard time with refried Beans :( wish i could eat them bc it tastes so good.

I put a small dollop of sour cream in them and it helped to thin them enough that they weren't hard to get down for me. But I seem to be doing super well with things physically now so I hope you are able to have the same luck soon!

      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.
