Most docs like to sneak up on restriction. It takes some time before you get the habit of taking very small bites, chewing till your tmj aches and doing it all very slowly. You may be different but most of us took months to get that habit conquered. And the battle goes on every day. I know, I was like you, I wanted to put the pedal to the metal and get this journey started.

I go to my surgeon Tuesday for my 6 week follow up. I have lost 25 lbs since surgery so I am afraid he may say I am doing well and don't need one. I notice I am really struggling the past week or so wanting to snack as I can feel my hunger increasing. I have been able to keep it in check but it's been a challenge recently.

I found some Special K baked crackers that I have a few here and there (only 110 calories if I have whole bag and I make it last for a few days). It is helping w/ my "I want a salty snack" craving.

I hope I get a fill. Please "fill fairy" let my dr. give me my first fill. :)

Good luck to you!

      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.
