    hi Chimera,
    gosh yes it's a looooong process, so many things I never expected, but here I am now
    The Atkins part of it is not to bad ( apart from having to pee all the time) arghhh three times in the middle of the night yikes!!!
    chicken is my new best friend This week I have two shakes and one meal with no carb.. 6 oz of a lean meat is not a meal grrrrrrrr lol.
    I can have a cup of coffee with skim milk only, that I dont drink.
    Next week im on straight shakes no food. I dont know how im going to do next week .... my head may explode yikes lol

    Welcome Serena
    It's a long process isnt it? It was a year and a few months of prep for myself - i know how it feels. I personally think the pre-op diet is the worst - certainly if you have a doc who puts you on weeks of liquids as some do. My own Dr. is a big fan of strict Atkins induction for shrinking livers pre-op and I guess my own was a teeny tiny thing when they went in - and I lost 14 lbs in about 11 days on mine (I think I lived on chicken and cheese - much like now haha, only much smaller portions

    Totally agree with Dalola's post. I'm only 8 days out and my habits
    are turning a point. I am making dinner for family and I'm okay
    with it. It gets much easier as time goes by, and it helped me to
    have lots of classes and support groups before surgery.
    Good luck

    Horray 4 u. Be sure to follow post op instructions. 6 weeks out and eating food. Very sm portions. To much or too fast feels like someone punched me in the chest from the pressure. Too fast, not chewed enough or too dense it is going to make you miserable until it comes up. Once up, comfort returns. If you are real unlucky, you will end up in ER. Slow, soft and healthy. You will have room and ease for high calorie easy foods (ice cream, chocolate, etc). Stay away or you will have spent all this time and energy for nothing. This is as much mental change as it is volume change. I luv ice cream. Not a lot, just a scoop will do me and frozen yogurt is fine too. It was an evening ritual. I have not had any! I get it out for my husband but do not touch. I like the scale needle sliding to the left instead of the right. Even just daring to get on a scale again in refreshing. I too had to go through a long time and many hoops for insurance, I have to make it worth all the time and effort. I want to be healthy most of all.

    The pureed foods I choose are ok. I haven't pureed meat though. I just don't even like the sound of it. Yogurt, oatmeal, pudding, and tuna fish have been what I stick to the most. Pretty soon I can move up to soft foods.
