During the mushy phase I loved the Pintos and cheese from Taco Bell.

My DH and I love Charlie Gittos restaurant in St. Louis. I have had to change what I get to the mannicotti, I only eat the cheese filling, and maybe a few bite of salad. I can eat bread but only if I dip it in the olive oil first and only 1 piece. (if you ever come to St. Louis you'll have to try Gittos)

I have not tried Mexican food yet, but we go to Mexico every year for vacation so I guess I better try it before we go to see what I'll be able to eat.

I also need to try some Jamaican Jerk, I love that too but have been too scared to try it.

I just have to remember slow down and chew. I get so excited when I get good food that I eat real fast.

I love Ethnic foods. I can pretty much eat anything besides fried rice. The only fried rice that doesn't get stuck is P.F. Chang. I can eat Jasmine Rice, but brown rice doesn't do good on the norm.

Mexican, Italian, Jamaican, Japanese, etc. all do fine. It would probably be good if some of it didn't work.

      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.
