I have had two weeks of a real emotional rollercoaster... Possile cancer diagnosis being the worst of the information that was given to me in this time period. About a week after I got that news, I realized that the stress from it was bringing up all the old feelings, emotions, thoughts and behaviors of my compulsive eating disorder. A year and a half after surgery, and I had mostly gotten control of them. I have been without a fill since April, so basically unrestricted since at least October of last year. I called for an appointment for a fill, and the first available was two and a half weeks away. I was afraid of two weeks of this emotional junk without restriction. I just got a call from the doctor's office and it seems that they had a cancellation Monday, this coming Monday!!!

Now my mind can get away from the hunger pangs, and be allowed to focus on keeping myself healthy while I wait the weeks and weeks before I find out about the cancer issue.

I must say, contributing to the posts and questions here has been very theraputic.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
