Hi!

I am going on 1 week of "soft foods" and was wondering if you could let me know what foods you ate during this phase. All ideas are welcome. Some on the list from my doctor are:

ground beef

ground turkey

cheese

cold cuts

eggs

Soup

Thanks!

Mashed potatoes (what a treat that was after the liquid diet!);

Poached salmon;

Soup and all of the things I'd been eating on my liquid diet (cottage cheese, FF/SF Jello pudding, etc.);

Soft cheeses (a bit too fattening. . but at least finally there was something for me to nibble on at cocktail parties!)

That's all I can remember at the moment. I'm a little surprised that your doctor has ground beef on there -- I know that some have a hard time getting it down.

Best wishes,

Catherine

Melliecat,

I don't know if it's just different terms- I'm on pureed diet until week 5 but it sounds like similar food, but you're allowed more solids.

I'm eating:

Soup

eggs

Tuna(chopped fine)

yogurt

cheese(had a string cheese last night - so good)

cottage cheese

ricotta cheese & marinara(yum)

cream of wheat

Hope you're doing well!

      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.
