I can eat small ants of rice' date=' but no noodles. I have problems with bread and Tomato based sauce...no Italian for me. Cereal is bad too. Can't do fresh raw veges and several cooked ones either.[/quote']

I've heard about tomato sauce. I love Italian food. What can you eat?

I was feeling the same way with regret but now that I am finally able to eat some things and have more choices it is better. The isopures do not taste like Protein drinks' date=' more like gatoraide.

Have you tried purée cottage cheese. It worked for me and was on my full liquid list. I also like the sunkist Protein Shots grape flavor. Taste like grape real grape not the fake taste.[/quote']

Ok I will try them. I don't like cottage cheese. Where do you get the Protein shots from.

Has anyone had trouble with thin liquids? I absolutley love Water and 1% milk but everytime I sip even the smallest sip, I feel pain. I'm on my 3rd day out so I'm wondering if it is just because my stomach is still brand new. However, I can handle cream of wheat and Tomato Soup well.

Right after my surgery I had the same problem lasted about a week. Everytime I would drink anything my pouch would hurt. I just kept sipping and it did get better.

I tried canned chicken tonight with mayo fresh garlic, minced onions, and chopped boiled egg. It went really well. Really would have loved a few crackers with it but I was full to fast.

YAY!!! I'm so happy you can get some chicken down. I had my blood drawn today and they said my Protein levels are dangerously low right now.

      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!!
