So I just went to my psychiatric evaluation and nutritionist appt yesterday. I passed them both now I'm just waiting to hear from the surgeons. My insurance covers the entire procedure. Since I haven't talked to the drs yet I still have a few questions. Will I never be able to go out to dinner again? The nutritionist made it seem like I will be eating cottage cheese and fish for the rest of my life. From what ive heard after your weight loss period you can eat a little more (variety not quantity) but not a lot or else you will gain it back. The thing with me is I only eat when I'm hungry. I want to be able to have cake on my wedding day and a slice (not 3) of pizza one day. I want to one day be able to enjoy certain foods but obviously in moderation. Anyone who knows please let me know

If you only eat when hungry then get on a time schudla like every 4-5 hours so you get all you need to be healthy. Along the way you will find how food works with you and yes you can have the cake on wedding day and pizza but some folks cant handle bread style food you will learn. Don't worry about what you cant eat now you will figure it out as you go..first work it one step at a time and get good at it, get the weight off and then figure it out now is not the time to stress about the future its the now that matters.

in time you will be able to eat anything you want, so long as you count the calories and don't pretend they don't count. I can do all the things you mentioned.

      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.
