Hi I am new here and just had my surgery RNY on Tuesday.  I am quite bored with my full liquid diet.  I guess I have to just tough it out.

Congratulations on your surgery. You will start mushy food soon. Things will get better, just be patient! In the meantime keep posting about your progress and if you have any questions post them. The Cali Board is full of wonderful people!

Thanks for the encouragement.  I know these first couple of weeks will be slow then I am hoping it will pick up.

Sorry to hear....Ensure you continue to do what your surgeon told you.  It's only temporary.  Take advantage of your weightloss as your a newbie.  Don't worry, you'll be able to eat and grind on steak later

Hello and Welcome to OH.  Congrats on starting your weight loss journey.  Tough it out and make sure you get what liquid protein and water that you can because these two items play a really important part in your health and journey.  Keep us posted.

ALL exist very nicely in the same box.

 I too am bored with the liquid phase.  I had surgery 3/31 and I have another week to go.  The thing that is helping me is to remember that this is a healing phase to make sure our tiny tummies are ready to handle what is to come.  I am generally an emotional eater and have taken to the cognitive approach to deal with current boredom.

Best wishes!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement.  Today went better.  A friend came to visit and I met with some friends at church.  I also focused on drinking my water.  The full liquid diet was not more exciting, but my day was.  So I was less focused on the boring meals.
