10/17. I am currently on soft foods/mushies. Today I was able to eat one small meatball and it was like Christmas morning!

I want Christmas morning! LOL

Though I think I'm lucky now to get blended veggies. I do love my veggies!

I miss veggies! I can't wait until I can have some kale! I think the hardest part of the pre/post op diet for me is the lack of real food. I mean one can only have so much Soup and Jello

Just had my first cream of chix soup, it was good. Really soup is way better than broth. I'm hoping blended veggies taste good, I'll add a little broth to them.

When you get to mushies, throw whatever you like in a blender!

Tomorrow will be making Taco Soup, minus the meat and in the blender it goes.

I told my daughter years ago, I could live off that stuff.

I'm actually excited!

Don't eat anything too soon , unless you talk with your Dr first.

2wks tomorrow. I've been following this forum for 7mths and one thing that gets pounded into you is "follow your Drs orders & just b/c you can eat something, doesn't mean you should".

This are a great group of ppl and a lot are very successful. They're here to help.

Week one of my pre op diet I can have veggies. Like day one sample menu had an apple. Day two carrots. Do you like those kind of veggies? And Soups with veggies don't need to be pureed yet. I know everyones pre op diet is different. Week 2 is stricter I guess to get gradually used to the post op diet.

My nutritionist said it helps to think of each diet phase as 2 weeks. Because you can say I am half way thought the first week, half way to the next diet phase etc. I liked that. Yes it might take a bit longer for some people in reality but it's about 2 weeks, 2 weeks and 2 weeks. LOL so I even checked the calendar as soon as I got my surgery date, to see which date I will be back on small portions of table food.< /p>

You can put some sugar free redi whip on your Jello so you don't get bored with it. It tastes so much better. I start my 2nd week of pre op tomorrow. My surgery is Friday!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
