I hope to be just like you! I'm still on the liquid diet. I've already lost 17 pounds and I'm about 2 weeks in. I'm extremely nervous to start eating food. I hear so many stories about food getting stuck constantly and I'm scared. Plus the cravings are still there! I see a commercial about a burger and fries and my mouth drools! Did you have any food getting stuck experiences?

don't worrie I too was scared but you're in control always remember some think Im never going to be able to drink this eat that but the thing is you can maybe not now but when you're able to control the amount of food you eat takes time in my experience I did have mistakes which is so normal and food does get stuck and when it does Ive learned room temp pineapple juice or before you eat drink something hot so you're throat is relaxed coffee is perfect opens up the air way you're doing great the band is a tool to help you're mind adjust to you're new life style Dont let the worries of food getting stuck or failing because you will get right back up and have the acomplishment knowing you never gave up you Cant change over night but slowly you're mind will change and you will never worrie again at the end you will overcome this its worth trying always because you trying will make a difference in the end hope this helps god bless

      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.
