I'm only 4 days out. I'm gonna try the mushy stage tomorrow. If I can handle it...I'm sticking to it. I'd rather eat regular bland for vs. another Protein Shake right now. I'll drink the protein flavored waters, but "NO MORE PROTEIN SHAKES". Lol

Please be careful transitioning to mushy. I'm advising you to talk to your doctor first about the protein. Your only 4 days out, I'm 8 days and I'm still on liquids for 6 more days. You can add plain Protein Powder to your broths and be getting that in. Try drinking things warm, cool, and cold to see what helps you get it down. Please be aware your tummy has been through a lot and may not be ready to handle soft/mushy foods yet. Talk to your doctor please!.........

Ok, so I finally found something I can stomach. Unflavored Unjury with unsweetened cocoa and low cal Peanut Butter powder. I can sweeten it to my liking. The peanut butter powder and cocoa mask the smell of the Protein. Thank God!!!

I'm still trying to get my Protein meats to go down smooth and I'm chewing very well but the gas is gone yeeess

How many weeks are you post op? How do you gauge that you have chewed enough? I'm not at that stage yet, just started full liquids but I'm very curious. Thanks :)

That's awesome!! I am having the same problem with the protein powders. Where did you get the low cal powdered peanut butter?

      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.

      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!!
