I miss plain boiled, long grain rice. It was my favourite food in the world best with a very hot indian curry.

I'm 5 days post op and am so over everything liquid. I had a 2 week preop liquid diet. I'm on full liquids until 2 weeks post op. I just need something/anything textured and more flavor! I can't wait until the pureed stage!!!! I want tuna, chicken or egg salad and some super soft veggies with seasoning.

I would love any suggestions!!

I was in a liquid diet for 2 weeks pre op and now for 3 weeks post op. I still have over a week before puree stage. I honestly will eat anything with flavor and texture. Some fish or salad will be fine. I got up this morning thinking I could have real food like eggs. Liquid diet is definitely harder than anything else for me.

Honestly? I miss Pepsi. I loved the bubbly-ness of it. And REAL sweet tea. The diet tea is ok, but it’s not the same. But I’m finally ok with that. If that makes sense. 🙂

Why are we not allowed rice?

I was told to avoid it because it expands like bread and Pasta and forms a Gummy ball in your stomach. Then that doesn’t leave room for the Protein that will keep you satisfied for longer so you will eat again too soon.

It is weird but I don’t crave all of my favorites anymore.

I am two months post op and I hope I keep feeling like this forever!

I’m just so obsessed with getting to goal that I think I’ve convinced myself that all of my faves are evil. Lol

I'm lucky that I've found healthy options for most things I liked, and I didn't eat junk food before, however... I miss Cookies, particularly homemade chocolate chip cookies like the size of your head. :D

I baked them with my daughter last night and I didn’t try one! It seemed so unnatural!

Those are all such good healthy foods. Why can't you eat them? (Or are you still in a soft food phase?)

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
