I was doing well with my appetite til my kids warmed up thier dinner. They had seafood which I dont like (arranged menu like that on purpose). But after they began to eat my mouth started watering & hunger set in. Luckily it was nearly time for my dinner so I had some butternut sqaush Soup 2/added Protein. Just made it past 32 oz added Water. Still trying to get back to 64oz under 3oz at a time 20 min apart. Grrr. :)

I feel like I am eating to much but then when I put it into perspective I might be eating 1/8 of what I used to eat

I had 4 bites of cheesy grits, 2 bites of scramblers eggs and a half of a small gladiator smoothie from Smoothie King - I know most people say they can only keep Clear Liquids down post op but I feel like I am doing fine - I guess it's true that everyone truly handles it differently

It is definitely harder when you have to feed your kids. The smells, alone, remind you of what you can't have. But, I keep reminding myself that this was my choice and if I REALLY want a chicken nugget (lol) I can purée one next week!

      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.
