Hey all. Things are still going really well and I really appreciate all of your support. To those of you vets, I have a couple days a week where food sounds icky and I end up back on Protein Shakes and mushies. Just wondering if this is something others experience and does it go away? I got some herbal tea to see if starting my day with that would help, but we'll see. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yeppers happened to me. food lost all appeal, and I really did struggle with eating around 2.5-3.5 month mark. I kept talking to Daisy about options, and talked to my surgeon as well, but I had to stay on mushies because it's the only way I could hit my Protein goals in a day. It was temporary, but it was frustrating.

Yep. I was sleeved a week before you and I have those days, too. I figure it's all good as long as I get my Protein in.

I just vomitted for the first time since surgery. Over a piece of toast with Peanut Butter on it of all things. Guess my tummy didn't like the peanut butter. Anyway, I am going to do the shakes today because I don't want to upset my stomach.

Some days, time just gets away from me and it's 12 pm and I have had nothing to eat. It's those days where I miss my Protein goal. And I refuse to eat another Protein Drink.

It's 7 weeks out and for the most part, unless I am totally bored, food is an afterthought now. It's just not what makes me excited anymore.

      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.
