at 2 weeks:

-cream of wheat made with milk- kinda of thin. There is Protein in it!

-pushed up cottage cheese

- soft cheese like babybel- let is sit at room temp for about 10 mins. first they melt in your mouth.

-greek yogurt.

-if you can tolerate them refried Beans. with a little sour cream.

Thats what I lived off of from 2 weeks to 1 month

I personally ate:

Cream of Rice - made very thin and easy to eat.

Cream of Zuchini Soup

Cream of Brocolli Soup

chicken broth

sugar free pudding

Almond Milk

Low fat or Fat Free Yogurt (Latosse Free)

Do you have a diet guide from your doc? If so follow what it says.

Is it hunger? Or is it acid/reflux? Maybe head hunger.

I am one week post- op and I feel like I'm hungry too! It was so easy being at the hospital and knowing there wasn't food to look at, but since I have come home and have had to cook for my family, I feel like I could turn into a psyco path! I sometimes have to chew gum to satisfy my urge to chew. I cannot wait to have real food again.

It will get better but it can get so tough I actually cried. Egg drop Soup was my "treat" because it didn't seem like diet food. Creamy Soups were great for me as well. Hang in there and stay diligent. It WILL get better.

I found a new love for split pea Soup at that stage! I really needed to thin down refried Beans if I ate them. Out of the can they were way too thick. Greek yogurt is good just watch for sugar. Stick to sugar free plain if you can.

I am in the same boat! I'm two weeks out and at first cooking wasn't bad bc I knew I couldn't have it and I didn't even want it but now I'm like what the hellllll am I putting myself through!! It's like torture!! Seriously. I made BBQ chicken last night for my hub and it smelled so amazing and I was so ready to be like "screw it one bite won't kill me" (I didn't). It was brutal. I have been living off tuna green Beans yogurt and was given a fab recipe for buffalo chicken salad type thing from someone on here. It was amazzzzzeeee!! Probably too good. Pretty sure I over did it yesterday. lol but we can all do this!!!! Just keep drinking Water. It fills me (usually) for a while.

      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!!
