Congrats on your weight loss! It's great that you had it done so young- you will have a lifetime of reaping in the benefits of the sleeve. Definitely check out Egg Face's website- there are so many recipes and information. It is very helpful. I too craved Tomato sauce afterwards- I couldn't wait to have it along with some meatballs. And that is what I did when I was on soft foods. I bought a lean cuisine meal and just ate the sauce and meatballs and threw away the Pasta. Now since you are into cooking- I'm sure you could whip something up that tastes much better. Good luck to you as you continue through this journey!:D

@Youngandwildresa93- I am now going to try the Vitamin waters! That never crossed my mind lol! My mom bought me some of the "naked" brand juices with veggies and fruits in them and I've been diluting them with water! It's so good. I actually like the one that looks like mushed up peas lol. It has wheat grass and all kinds of stuff in it, but its so good lol.

      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.
