I tried some tiny couscous and my little stomach said - No No No!

Yes - It felt like there was a cinder block on my chest. Not good. It has been the first food that did not work as expected. If you are on mushies or about to start mushies - stay away. Tiny couscous is no mushy! Bad feeling.

What amazes me is some folks who were banded the same day as many of us have tried stuff like DONUTS! First I think why? Now tat I had the cinder block moment, I really questioning it - I mean what the heck are they thinking? Yuck.

Tex, I am still on full liquids until Saturday. I had 3 days Clear Liquids, then 2 weeks full liquids, then 2 weeks of mushies. I'll still be on mushies when I go back for my first fill. The only thing I have eaten that was really not on my full liquid plan was Tomato Soup (they said it was too acidic, but it was so good!) and once I mixed quite a bit of Fat Free Sour Cream in with some refried Beans. I guess I thought this made it smoothe enough to qualifiy as a full liquid (a huge stretch, I know). Otherwise, I have stuck to the plan. I am too scared to try anything off the plan. I'm with you on the donuts...this was too big of a step for me to take a chance and mess it up now and donuts are probably not even on the plan later on (Darn!). Good luck and keep up the great work!

Hey Amanda - I read it on some thread. Sorry I can't remember where. I was amazed. I think the thread was something like I cheated or tripped or something.

      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.
