And so dang evil! I can't wait to eat something! Anything!!!! 9 days post op (and 13 lbs down)and everything makes me want to vomit! Lemon zinger tea and ice cold diet snapple is all I like!! It's like my security blanket. Lol

I can't be the only one going nuts right now...

As long as it's mushy you can make whatever you want. Some people are making re-fried beans with melted cheese on top

There something on my paperwork that says 2nd and 3rd weeks at home I can do pureed and creamy foods. And add in soft/mushy and "crispy" foods as tolerated. Crispy foods because they will disintegrate when pls ed with liquids and are combined with soft foods. It mentions baked tortillia chips! How happy am I??? But its sad that guac is not a significant source of protein. 1/4 cup is about 1.5g

It's head hunger. It sucks. I'm almost 3 weeks out and I still can't handle hardly anything. Half a cup of soup and today I had tuna with shredded cheese and low fat mayo. It went down super easy but only one tablespoon. I was a full after... Stick to the diet and watch my 600lb life, it helps lol

That's the same thing I was thinking. I've been trying to get down thus protein drink since about 8:30 and now its backing up in my throat. I'm scared to lay down. I think its really just that nothing has texture and I just need some texture....and a little saltiness lol

I have the same problem. It takes me about 2-3 hours to get down one protein shake that's 9oz. I really don't have time to eat. I have to get up super early to start the process and take my steroid.. If I don't take that, water hardly goes down.

My liquid phase is 4 weeks! Then puréed for at least 2 weeks and then I can try mushies. I wonder why the phases vary so much with different surgeons??

nut leery of moving me to mushy- praying she dies

@@laurenella82

ROFLMAO

gotta love those typos

think you meant to say "does"

not dies

then again since you are so evil, maybe you do want her to die

ok, back to topic.........

Get Over It

@@proudgrammy lol! I don't want anyone to die! lol!

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I'm going to call my NUT this afternoon and see what she says. But every time I get on the scale it makes this lovely liquid diet taste a lot better!!

I get you completely. I'm 11 days post-op and starving. I'm sitting here with a disgusting protein shake in my hand that I've been nursing for about an hour now. Can't get it down. Every shake is more disgusting than the last.

I start purées/Mushies finally on Sunday. Cannot wait to have tuna salad.

@@laurenella82 How is everything going with Dr. Ricford and his staff?

@@Essence46 I didn't have Dr. Ricford. My surgeon was Dr. Vaziri.

Stick with your diet and don't give in to the head hunger. We all go through it. It stinks and is really boring and hard but what you don't need is to sabotage yourself. I feel that is we start eating unhealthy again now and just keep doing it because we are losing weight then why bother with the surgery? I was DYING for something salty and flavorful when I was on a liquid diet. My post op SUCKED I was clear liquids for 2 WEEKS....2 WEEKS! Then finally full liquids it was a mental nightmare but now I can eat solids and it is pretty great. Just remember your stages and it will be fine. In pureed stage I ate a lot of cream of what soups they were filling and also satisfied my salt and flavor needs! Good luck you are doing great so far!

I've been moved to purees now!! Having some kind if creamy soup for dinner. But I need to get these 2 shakes down first.

purees now!! creamy Soup - need to get these 2 shakes down first.

@@laurenella82

now that's what i'm talkin' about

enjoy this new stage of food

you are getting there

all in good time

"God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It"

keep up the good work

i know you will
