Recommended Posts

Congratulations on not smoking that is wonderful. Already you added a few more days to your life :thumbup: You should be proud that you were able to stop because thats hard. I myself have an addiction to sweets and already I have cheated and dipped my finger in my kids cupcake icing and ran my finger across the ice cream top for a taste.(more than once) Now today makes one week for me I was banded on 6/29 and I was also wanting to see a instant difference in my weight. I weighed in at 202 on the morning of surgery and today I'm at 196.9. Thats good I guess. I too don't know whether I'm hungry or not either. Also this liquid diet is getting on my last nerves especially since my mother is here visiting cooking all my favorites for her grandkids.I have too be strong or stronger than I hsve been and you too just focus and heal and you be be okay too.

I Just had my surgery on July 6th and I feel all of you. This site is really neat as it gives you different perspectives and i am finding them all very helpful. I am in the same boat as I am tired of the broths and Jello and tonight for the first time I felt hungry... I am just wondering did anyone have some good broths that they were eating?? I am tired of the vegetarian, chicken and beef...LOL...Any help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

I bought the hot and spicy cup of noodles for .28 and only drank the liquid. I like spicy stuff and this made it easier to get the liquid in.

      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.
