thats what i did and it was wonderful!! i used vegtable and beef w barley and i strained them and it worked just fine!!

I too was very very hungry i only made it to day 8 as then i had to have food!! I went directly to mushy foods such as scrambled egg and nonfat refried beans mashed potatoes cream of wheat etc... i stayed on mushy until i was 3weeks out then went to soft foods(food you can chew to make mushy) until i was 8weeks out and was able to start regular food! I was very HUNGRY!!!! this worked for me and so far i have been very successful!! Best of luck!!

AT FIRST I WAS ON A liquid POST OP DIET SO I HAD A CUP OF broth 3X A DAY

NO YOU ARE NORMAL!! The same thing happened to me and it went on for like 3-4weeks!! My nut told me that after dropping 32lbs so fast my body was holding on to see what was happening! I stopped looking and low and behold it started moving down very fast again!! Sometimes I have to Increase my calories for my body to give up weight! Hang in there you will see!! Do you still feel the restriction?

YOU WERE PROBABLY MORE ACTIVE AS WELL !!

I too had to go to puree early at day 10!! My nut said it was ok but when I wanted to go to soft early she said no because we don't want to worry about stretching our pouch too soon. With pureed foods I made it a month out for soft!! It was hard but worth it. 2years from now I don't want to wonder if I messed up and that's why the weight loss is slowing down!

I too had to EAT!! I went into my fridge and snagged cream cheese and then felt soooo bad.... I was fine and continue to lose so i guess we are not alone!! Its HARD!!!

I AM 3MOS POST OP AND I STAY AT OR UNDER 1000 CALORIES A DAY AND MOST TIMES ONLY HIT 800-900!! I KEEP MY FAT GRAMS TO 33 AND MY CARBS TO 100 AS PER FITNESS PAL

march 3 surgery down a whole bunch!!!!

what a great inspiration!! you look wonderful!!

it does feel good to Feel Normal and still see weight loss!! Wish I did this 10 years ago!!

I too Love FOOD!! But since my surgery for the first time in my life i feel full like a normal person!! Before i could never understand how a person could be happy and full eating a sandwich!! I would have to eat 2!! now i can eat 1 like everyone else and i am fully satisfied!! Its a great feeling!! Same with Lean cusine or Smart ones i would eat 1 and then go eat something else because i was still hungry! Now i can barely finish 1 meal!! For me the surgery has made all of the difference!!

yologirl I am almost 3mos out and yes i snack occasionally! i even had a hostess cupcake for 210 calories and still stayed under 1000 calories that my nut set for me!! As long as I can "afford" the calories I allow myself AS THIS WILL BE FOR LIFE!! I am very happy so far with my results!!

I was told to keep my calories at 1000 or less and 33 gr of fat a day!!

I was told the number 1 cause of failure is drinking calories....... eat a piece of fruit it will hold you longer and provide the benefits of juice!

my nut said 20-40 oz the first 2-3 weeks!! i am 7 weeks now and can do 60-70oz no problem!!

i was so hungry!! I had to go to pureed on day 8 as I was starving!! My Doc said not to push it but if I was able to tolorate it i was fine... Start with some soft noodles in soup then i moved to yogurt and then a loose scrambled egg and it was soooooo good!!

it all counts as water!! If its wet and see thru its water!! My nut even says to count water that is in our food so you are doing just great!! I think 64oz is a lifetime goal!! Best of luck!! I am 7weeks out!! down almost 40lbs!!

I USED MY TEETH TO PUREE!!

I LOVED THAT ON MY PUREED STAGE!!

shrimp with lobster sauce very good choice!!

I can eat just about anything without a problem at all!! I feel full really fast but am eating under 800 calories.... no bread yet as that and steak are the last to return but will i keep losing once bread is back?

OK ME TOO!! I HAVE LOST 31LBS IN 4WEEKS AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE NOTHING... I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS TO A T AND HAVE NEVER GONE OVER 800 CALORIES IN A DAY!! DOES MY BODY THINK ITS IN STARVATION? HOW DO I JUMP START THE WEIGHT LOSS AGAIN? HELP!!

my first meal was at village Inn and i had 1 egg scrambled w cheese and banana slices....

milk,protien shakes, soup ,yogurt
