I miss plain boiled, long grain rice. It was my favourite food in the world best with a very hot indian curry.

I'm 5 days post op and am so over everything liquid. I had a 2 week preop liquid diet. I'm on full liquids until 2 weeks post op. I just need something/anything textured and more flavor! I can't wait until the pureed stage!!!! I want tuna, chicken or egg salad and some super soft veggies with seasoning.

I would love any suggestions!!

I was in a liquid diet for 2 weeks pre op and now for 3 weeks post op. I still have over a week before puree stage. I honestly will eat anything with flavor and texture. Some fish or salad will be fine. I got up this morning thinking I could have real food like eggs. Liquid diet is definitely harder than anything else for me.

Honestly? I miss Pepsi. I loved the bubbly-ness of it. And REAL sweet tea. The diet tea is ok, but it’s not the same. But I’m finally ok with that. If that makes sense. 🙂

Why are we not allowed rice?

I was told to avoid it because it expands like bread and Pasta and forms a Gummy ball in your stomach. Then that doesn’t leave room for the Protein that will keep you satisfied for longer so you will eat again too soon.

It is weird but I don’t crave all of my favorites anymore.

I am two months post op and I hope I keep feeling like this forever!

I’m just so obsessed with getting to goal that I think I’ve convinced myself that all of my faves are evil. Lol

I'm lucky that I've found healthy options for most things I liked, and I didn't eat junk food before, however... I miss Cookies, particularly homemade chocolate chip cookies like the size of your head. :D

I baked them with my daughter last night and I didn’t try one! It seemed so unnatural!

Those are all such good healthy foods. Why can't you eat them? (Or are you still in a soft food phase?)

      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.
