Are you on full liquids or mushies. I'm just curious because I start full liquids on Tuesday and wondered what it might consist of besides shakes and cream Soups. Sorry your having a hard time, I can relate though.

When I started the mushies I also thought I would starve to death & when I went to the Doctors for my check up I told him I felt like one of those cartoon charaters that if you look at them they look like a steak or piece of chicken so I told him I was ready to bite anyone's head off and to look out cause I was starving lol needles to say he made a joke and hurried me out of his office that day ,when he usually takes his time with me , just thought I would share,so I hope the newbie bandsters get through this phase it does get better.

It's okay!! My first cheating session was a cheez it too LOL!! I took about 7 bites of the little thing and mashed each one into thin air before I swallowed it. I'm not saying it was smart to do for either of us, but I will say that you are not alone and you are normal and you will do better next time =)

I'm 10 days post-op and I crunched 4 cheez-its into my Soup just the other day and let them get super soggy before eating the soup. I chewed and chewed and chewed just to be safe... I asked my nutritionist if whole wheat saltines/crackers were allowed since technically they got mushy in your mouth, and she said YES, except they're carbs so it's not exactly ideal.

As much as I loved munching on food with texture finally, I don't want to go overboard.

It's very hard right now with being hungry. Good idea on the crackers. but like you said its carbs. i am def doing to stay away from them for a while. I go for my 2 week post op on Tuesday. I will be able to start introducing more foods in to my plan. Very excited for the next phase.

Why don't you try a small bowl of low calorie ice cream?? Alright I know it's not ideal but if you just have that as a little treat just to have something sweet and different.. It's definitely kept me sane!!!! Just untill your aloud proper foods... :) cxx

      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!!
