Okay my friend invited some people over for a dinner that she was cooking. After she had invited them she asked me would that offend me. She already invited them and because she did I would look like a witch if i said no. Now I'm smelling all this food, and I can't eat anything until 5 days from now which I am going to the mushy food phase. I am going over to my friend house so I won't have to smell this food:cursing:. I am starting to feel like I'm not strong. I am really trying guys, I have done exactly what the doc wants. I just come up here for motivation, because I know why I chose the lapband and yes I realize it's only 5 more days of liquids, but ...so much temptations, and i'm irritated.

No you are not being sensitive, this is a new process and its hard in the beginning. If your friend is having a dinner party, maybe you can come after they finish eating dinner and its time to hang out so you won't have to explain why you are not eating or be tempted to eat.

We were invited to a birthday dinner next Friday which will be 5 days after my surgery. I replied that we had other plans, but could possibly meet them after dinner for a drink (I will be drinking water!). I don't think you should put yourself into temptation yet...it will be fine when you can progress (which will be shortly), but you don't want to mess up this early! Good luck!:smile:

:drool:Yes - go get that pudding!!! I hear ya....crystal lite is keeping me sane during my liquid pre-op. I have grown to hate all the Protein powders/mixes, so I can barely choke them down anymore. Crystal light is the only normal tasting thing that crosses my lips these days! One more day! I go to pureed food 24 hours after surgery. It will be like eating at a 5 star restaurant as far as I'm concerned:laugh:

You are in a tough stage, but it does get much much better! It's a process. You are going to do fine.

      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.
