Hi Peaches,

I had 1/4 cup frozen mixed veggies (tiny cubes) and 2 ounces white fish. Chewed till it was pretty much liquid but i felt very hungry and ate it too fast then had 1/4 cup butternut squash Soup. It was all very low calorie but if I had waited I would have realized I was very full and not touched the soup. STUPID stupid stupid! I did not vomit or feel nauseated just unconfortable tightness. It is considered the "puree"" stage in the Weightloss Surgery for for dummies book and that is what my diet will be for 4 weeks.

Every doc is so different I find it really confusing. Feeling good today and sticking to the easiest pureed food ie: cottage cheese, sf applesauce, Soups. Hope I haven't screwed things up.

I hope it all goes well for you. I guess I am suprised that you are on the mushies this week when we were banded the same day. I know every surgeon gives different instructions, but I thought we were all on liquids the first week. I'm supposed to go till Wednesday (Doctor Appt day) on liquids before I can have mushies. But I started getting so hungry yesterday.

You're right, it is all very confusing.

My port pain lasted over 2 weeks. I think it eased up at week 3. I started walking on day 7po for 30 minutes every day. Then I started going back to the gym during week 3 po.

momof3- I have been drinking 100% whey Protein by EAS twice a day made with 8 oz. of skim plus milk. You get 34 grams of protein in each 8 oz. serving(skim plus had 11g and the protein mix has 23g). It is good in the vanilla flavor. I have not tried other flavors. I like the vanilla so I will stay with it until I am sick of it. LOL Hope that helps. Good luck to you!

      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.
