I haven't been hungry until today. I've been so busy getting in all my liquids and Protein it has been too bothersome to stop 1/2 hour before and 1 hour after 3 times a day. I've felt fine and haven't had any cravings until now. I think I just want to crunch or chew, ughh. Words of wisdom please or your pictures of your journey for motivation.

I was feeling the same way, but realized that taking my chewy Vitamins really helped with that craving of needing something to chew.

I also chewed a piece of gum and that was pretty satisfying (until i started to get paranoid that i would swollow it- so i spit it out)

I went for cottage cheese, I'm on full liquids so it's on my diet. Just different from my Soups. I filled up about half a cup. I told myself I took too much when I sat down, but it didn't matter it just tasted so gross. I threw it down the drain and went to target.

Hopefully, you moms bought candy for your kids that you don't even like. That's what I do for the neighborhood kids during Halloween.

I didn't even buy my kids candy this year. If I don't need it, neither do they. I'm making Easter a healthy tradition.

I'm five weeks out and remember that feeling of needing to chew. SF popsicles were and still are one of my favorites treats but during those first couple of weeks I couldnt survive without them. I also would strain clam chowder after the first two weeks. It was nice and filling. Go to the store and buy SF pops. Tropical flavor are to die for my boys even love them

      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.
