We all experience this. Today I made sauage bites to have later and the smelll is overwhelming. but I have not given in to try one just yet. I was a huge grazer and boredom is a big one that I have to manage. I am not hungry so I don't need to eat so I will just read some post and wait until it is supper time to try them. "Yoda...I need some help from the force here :P :P

That's where I'm having the most trouble. Boredom. Seeing everyone else eat makes me miss it. I only have 10 more days on liquids then my surgery. So I try to focus on the outcome.

When I was on my 2 week liquid diet I thought I was never gonna make it! But I found staying busy and not being home much or around food kept my mind occupied on other things rather than food!! I will say the closer I go to being sleeved the more food became my last worry! I am now 8weeks out and very happy with the decision to be sleeved. Good Luck 2 you...

Yup you betcha! I'm out 1 year and have head hunger like you won't believe. . . i satisfy it every now and then, could be why i'm losing slower now, but at least i'm not gaining right? Good luck! and just know that it's only a temporary thing, soon you'll be able to eat whatever. . . in smaller amounts of course.

Yup, I agree...everyone goes through it. After surgery it's another 2 weeks of more liquids and it doesn't get any better until you get on the different stages of texture etc.... You will get through it :) We all have and it wasn't easy but we did it. I actually chewed up a piece of pizza and spit it out....so I totally know what you are going through. Good luck to you!!

I am on day 5 of my liquid diet - I have to do it for 14 days. The first 2 days were the worst. Each day is getting better. I have found if I have 10 grams of protien about every two hours my hunger is so much more under control or if I drink a large glass of Water when I feel hungry then the Water will fill me up.

My Procedure day is on the 10th so we are both on the same track. Hang in there - we can do this - think about the end result!

      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.
