My name is Judy Boris, and I live in Chicago. Two weeks ago, (November 5, 2015) I had gastric sleeve sugery. The first few days were rough, but after three days, the clear liquid diet was satisfying. However, now that I am going into my third week, food is starting to look good and the liquid diet is not satisfying. I have to be honest, the whey, Protein drinks and the Jello are beginning to nauseate me. I literally want food and am concerned that I am overthinking food. I started out at 207pounds and am down to 195 and holding. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me forget about my hunger (by the way, it really hits me at night)?

When are you allowed to progress to the next stage? I think at 3 weeks I was allowed pureed food. Stuff like refried Beans with cheese, mushy tuna salad.
