I cracked a rib last week from fainting when I was sick and dehydrated. Now I'm on pain meds and just laying around. I've been doing good since I had my surgery in Aug I've lost 60 lbs. Today I grazed all day for the first time and it scared me. I don't want to revert back to old ways. Support needed please!!

I just sleep. it sounds lazy but when I was sick I would just sleep as much as I can. I'd rather do that than eat.

another weird trick (works for me at least) brushing my teeth often. I think it's because I hate the taste of toothpaste and food so it helps.

nothing scientific, just my 2 cents.

good luck!

and force yourself to drink that Water :-)

I do the brushing my teeth thing too. But that's because the floride makes me feel funny and I can't eat because of it.

I cracked a rib last week Sunday! I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks prior to that and tripped on a load of laundry. I was counting the days left after having my hysterectomy to being able to exercise and now this! Now I added a few more weeks to my recovery, so I definitely know how you feel! I don't take pain meds, but I think if I did I would prefer to sleep the weeks away. Lol... A lot of Water seems to help me. I'm not extremely hungry because I'm kind of nauseous from the pain. I've been reading and on my I pad a lot to distract me. I have also went through my old bills and shredded things I no longer have to save. I think keeping your mind and hands busy is important! We can get through this, it's just a hiccup! Good Luck!

      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.
