I called the dietician line at my surgeon's office and they told me that I can have fish, eggs, yogurt, and chopped chicken from a chicken salad kit. I told her I was on pureed still, but she claims that it counts. Weird. Eating an Egg Beater's egg right now. Time to see if I keep it or loose it.

I start pureed foods tomorrow and the idea of pureeing meats into the consistency of applesauce makes me want to vomit. I'm autistic and I cannot handle certain textures. I know that yogurt and other dairy products will be fine for me, but I so badly miss meat yet the idea of meatsauce is nasty. How to you all recommend I get around this? Also, I love eggs, so any eggvice on the subject will be appreciated.

From what I understand, the pre-op diet is determined by the surgeon's preference, the patient's BMI and bloodwork. My surgeon did not do a 2-week liquid diet. Instead it was a 2-week diet consisting of: Morning: New Directions Protein Shake (or Ensure max Protein) Morning Snack: 2 cup raw non-starchy veggies Lunch: New Directions Protein Shake (or Ensure max Protein) Afternoon Snack: New Direction Protein Bar Dinner: 1/2 cup cooked veggies, 1 serving of fat, 3-4oz lean protein, one serving of carb (max 15g) Snacks x2 a day: 2 Tbsp of fat free cool whip On the last day it was only protein shake. My surgeon said my surgery went amazingly and that I was a model patient to work on. So don't be scared if your surgeon doesn't use the most common pre-op diet. It doesn't make then a bad surgeon and it doesn't mean you will fail.

I have a question that is kind of on topic: what happens when you have had breast augmentation while morbidity obese and then later get WLS? I only just had my surgery yesterday but I’m already concerned I will sag.

Oh nice, another 2/23rd’er. Mine was at 7:30am. I’m glad you feel great already, that’s awesome. I’m feeling pretty good too with no hunger pains. However I have twinges of pain from the gas. Oh god does the gas make for an unpleasant time lol.
