Of course I'm not trying to mess it up. That's why I haven't pushed myself to the point to feel anything bad. I don't want to.

no mam' i know you arent trying to mess u.never want u to think i meant that

...you are doing so great. just let your insides heal...i am concerned.

if in doubt about what to eat, just ring the dr and make sure. just go slow.

you will hear from people who may say its ok, but that them, this is you :)

The reason you do not feel hungry or thirsty is because your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. I somedays I have a hard time with tuna and I have been banded for 7 months (band being tight somedays). My advice is 1 call your doctor and tell him your concerns and 2 eat only 1 cup per meal' date=' slowly, and drink slowly. The eating habit is a learning process. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take care & good luck.[/quote']

Thank you. Thank you that's what I've been doing. I have broth seperated in baby bowls ready in fridge. I even drink out of a baby cup. Has a straw though. Lol not the big 32oz like before.

if you are hungry' date=' that is normal. those Protein shakes were my food until my insides healed

the more i healed, the hunger came back

as ajtex said, just because we can eat/drink more than we should, doesnt mean we should[/quote']

I haven't tried the shakes. The Protein Drink I drink is called Isopure. It's kinda like a gatorade base. Instead of milk base. What about working out. When did yall feel up to moving about.

No. No no straws, you'll blow your band off.

Please stick to your Drs orders.

Is the tuna& egg salad in baby bowls too?

What do you put in your tuna salad? I mix mine with egg salad so its tuna egg salad. I love it that way.

The hardest part of all this is understanding the signals or lack of signals..... at this point you won't feel hungry. It took me a while to figure out the new signals. Sounds like you are doing it right, your just not getting the response from your body that you are use to.....completely normal. As each day goes by your body will heal and you will learn the new signals. Keep doing what you are doing.

Don't rush the working out. Walk as much as you can, but my doctor said no exercise for 4 weeks and no ab stuff for 6 weeks. But as with food all doctors a red different bla bla bla......

Oh. I'll stop with the straw. The tuna was from subway. Two scoops in a bowl. I had the add a little more mayo to make it more wet. I didn't eat it all at on sitting. The egg salad I bought from publix. I'm suprised at how fine the egg was chopped. It was like a rice pudding.

      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.
