You really wanted us to know this, huh? :) (being facetious re: triple post)

You don't feel different? Including when you try to eat or drink? No real tips b/c I don't really know what you need tips about. Just generally?

(BTW, you're home from surgery, but you posted in pre-op -- you'll probably get more responses and better help in post-op since most in pre-op are still pre-op).

What I meant is since my eating was cut back to mainly fluids during the liquid diet phase it wasn't thar hard to transition after surgery...by now my body is use to fluids..but I'm not hungry...its different for everybody..n yes I'm keeping preopters posted with any experience I have..

      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.
