I know it's hard. I remember feeling like I was going to eat my own foot I was so hungry. I actually had to be on liquids for 4 weeks after surgery. A month with zero food sucked!

Remember, it's only 2 more days. You've come this far and you can totally make it just 2 more days. Think how proud of yourself you'll be once you make it past all this post op diet stuff!!

Be strong, you totally got this :)

Switch to a different liquid if your allowed? The last few days I was gagging on my Protein Shakes my body seemed to reject them. So I made really blended lentil Soup and drunk smoothies. Switch something up maybe?

OMG this is exactly where I'm at, I'm so hungry just had some Greek yogurt, I can't wait until Monday. Is anyone having trouble with shortness of breath and trouble sleeping?

Just looked at your profile. You're 17 days post op? I'm not in a position to tell you to eat something your doctor says no to, but I can offer up some ideas to help you with wanting something solid. I make Protein pudding using sf instant pudding, adding a couple of scoops of Protein Powder (I use Bariatric Advantage vanilla) and nonfat milk. Instead of getting 4 servings I get 5 this way and use them for Snacks. It's semi liquid and if you take tiny bites, it should be fine. I was on solids by day 15, per my plan.

Wow, I thought my doctor was strict. I was banded on the 15th and I am just now being allowed pudding and yogurt. Next week I am allowed "blended" Soup or chili. I am so tired of shakes as well. You have two more days, remember the end game here. We all did this for better health and to lose those extra pounds by being able to take control. You have the control, you can do this. It is just two more days. Stay strong.

I agree with Missy. You will feel proud of yourself an accomplished. This is just one of many challenges that you want to be able to say "i did it"

Its only TWO more days. You can do it. ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
