Just think of all the years to come where you'll be swanning around with your more healthy self able to eat pretty normally if you give up just this ONE day. :)

You can do it!! I think you will be surprised how easy it is for you! I was 5 days post op this past Christmas, I just made sure to have things available that I could have and really wasn't bothered by it :)

It's just one day! Concentrate on the family... watching the kids play (if you like kids, that is).. the fireworks, and the reason for the holiday!

Take the food plan your doctor gave you for post op eating. I told myself I would learn to eat vicariously through others and it worked. Still does today when I have to be in places where others are eating. I sometimes get a little self righteous and judge what others are eating. Should not do that as it is not good for my other program. Happy 4th.

      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.
