I'm on day 10 of my post-op liquid diet and "eating" has become a chore. It isn't that I crave anything...I'm just so sick of broth, yogurt, shake, jello....repeat. I don't enjoy any of it anymore...I tolerate it..barely. I'd rather not eat, but I know that's not an option. I am not allowed even thin purees for 11 more days. Ugh!

One more week to cottage cheese, eggs and purees!! Counting down!

Nice! I didn’t get purées til week 5! It was a long long 5 weeks. Now I’m just waiting on week 9 to get here to begin solid foods!

I honestly feel so sorry for you guys who have to be on liquids and puree for weeks and weeks. My program had me on solids by day 4 (chew chew chew until puree) and it was such a blessing. A meal was half to one babybell, but it was amazing.

Some surgeons feel like it takes a few weeks for the new stomach to heal and the extra time with simple foods allows for better healing and less chance of complications.

I like refried beans with a little plain Greek yogurt.

Which procedure did you have? I had a SIPS. No way my stomach could have processed solid food by day 4!

No beans on a liquid diet.

Sorry, didn't see which forum it was in. I' have the bypass.

I am 2 weeks and a few days out, I'm on pureed finally but truly now that I can, I don't want food.

I've got one more week to purees...but I understand what you mean about not wanting it. I have never, in my life, had so little interest in food. I have always been the kind of person who could eat through anything...I never lost my appetite....but these last two weeks, I'm never hungry

It truly is a chore. On top of not being hungry, I'm paranoid about what too eat, and how I could hurt myself. Like even a twinge scares me.

Yes, this is true...but try making popsicles out of Premier Protein. I love making bomb pops with 1/2 bananas and cream and 1/2 chocolate. That way, you change up the texture, you change up the delivery system. And, you can make them the size that is perfect for you. Need a 2oz pop? No prob. Can handle a 3oz pop--cool! Also make protein popsicles out of Clear Protein Shakes. I love the frozen grapefruit and also lemon tea and fuzzy navel from Syntrax Nectar.

Fluffy...I love that idea. I used to love bomb pops growing up. Fudge and banana were my favorite. I will definitely give this a try.

Thanks!

Oh man, me2!!! Let me know how you like them! I think Premier Protein or The World According to Eggface actually has a recipe for them. I just poured the drink in the molds and they worked well enough...you know?
