Did anyone skip mushy stage?



Recommended Posts

I was on liquid only (thin liquid) for nearly 2 weeks before I went onto pureed food. So yes, from what you've said, you'll be ready for pureed/mushy food by the time you see your specialist/surgeon.

I had trouble just with liquids at the beginning and I was strogly advised NOT to try mushed food any earlier. However I did start pureed food 2 days before i was supposed to because I was bored to tears with liquid only.

Good luck and take care.

I have to eat slowly. I found that if I eat solid food too fast I get a "I need to burp feeling" not pain so much but pretty uncomfortable.

I was banded on the 23rd and I do the same thing. I see my doctor on the 27th and he will decide If I need a fill or not. He said if I was still losing then there was no need for one yet.

Are you hungier/less full now compared to two weeks or so ago?

I'm hungrier than I was 2 weeks ago definitely. I'm hoping for a fill because right now it's all willpower no band help LOL

Me too. Though I don't think I could eat what I used to, amount wise because I do get fuller quicker. That may be all in my head but that's ok, I'll take it.

      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.
