If you scrunch up the wallpaper and place it in a blender this might be a mushie or a puree and then you'd have the Fiber too.

Yes, it can suck. I feel that way too. Surgery Dec 24 - on liquids now.

Keep busy!!!! Get your mind off food. I think I was more worried about food 2 weeks out, and now at 1 month out I hardly think about it. But I busy myself with things to do around the house for Christmas, like cleaning guest bedroom today for daughter to come home at Christmas. I have let that bedroom sit 4 months and kept putting more and more in there. I have so much more energy now! Loving it!

Hello all, I too am on the 2 wk starve urself to death preop:/ Day 5 down 8lbs but its been a hard 8 lbs!! As som1 suggested to keep busy, well today, when I was thinking about my usual Friday Chinese buffet, I went outside n ripped up my garden fence and reposted it smaller bc it was too big! Talk about hunger anger, it went down pretty fast but it was gr8 cardio and made me drink more Water. My neighbor asked what was I doing, I said, I'm on a diet so tho it may look like I'm rippn up a fence, I'm actually eating Chinese! He lol n said, what!?!

I'm on a 2 week pre op liquid diet as well..getting sleeved dec 31st..happy new year to me.the first two days I had a headache.they allow a small amount of vegetables and sugar free Jello thank god or I think I'd kill someone.i seem to have real bad moments where I'm sad or angry about not eating.i work in a restaurant so that doesn't help either.im going into day 5...the Protein Shakes are disgusting and are a very poor substitute for food.i just keep reminding myself how life will be without this added weight..the gift of extra life.of being happier and healthier.it helps...it doesn't mean I don't want to eat my weight in pizza it just means I see a bigger picture.thank god for my therapist.in the whole scheme of things these two weeks are just a blip in your timeline..think how fast time usually goes.we will be sleeved and skinny in no time.we will barely remember this time as awful..

My dr. told me to add more Protein. I had eggs with cheese, Popeyes naked tenders, low carb...high protein foods. Greek yogurt was a God-send!!!

I was really worried about my pre op diet too, but I got through it and yes, it was a challenge. I did better than I thought I would! I lost 18 lbs. My very last day I actually forgot to drink my last shake. I'm 4 days post op and I can tell you for sure - I could care less about food now! I'd give anything to not feel so thirsty.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
