I am 4 days post op and feeling better but so cranky, irritable and hungry! Being stuck inside bc of the blizzard didnt help either.

It'll get better in on day 16 and today I had chicken fajitas no wrap no salsa a few strips and sour cream. Today is the first day I've had three meals since surgery. Hold on I know it's rough. Good luck

You probably don't want to hear this but I was where you are for 4 months. It's called "bandster hell". I'm no longer there but it was worth it for me. Once you can eat solids you can fill up on veggies, lean meats and fruit so it's not quite so bad.

Thanks everyone....

I know my doc said if this was easy everyone would do it. And i know nothing worth it ever comes easy.

Its just so hard....i feel like i think about food every minute! ???ž

I need to stay strong....i worked so hard to get here and dont want to throw it all away.

I have less then two weeks til I can eat mushies and i cant wait for that. Just some tuna or egg salad is gonna taste like filet mingon at this point! Lol

My doctor moved me on and I actually tolerate it better just figuring out when to stop is hard to me.

      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.
