Girl- let me tell you, mind and mouth and nose are pretty much the same... I want a taco... Mexican in general and I want a McDonald's cheeseburger. But then I stop and think, ok, will this hurt me/ will I regret it? And what would my NUT say. Thats enough toake me stop and think (I'm an impulse eater) and if I think about it, I won't do it. Stay strong!

I have the same fears.. I have been stocking up my craft room because I am going to craft a lot just so I can forget about food! Hand in there you can do out!!

I love this saying ”no food you eat will make you feel better than losing weight and feeling better about yourself”

I never noticed just how many food commercials there are until I got home from the hospital...even the commercials telling u to lose weight show food! I felt like I was bombarded by "eat, eat, eat, eat, LOSE WEIGHT FATTY, eat eat eat"

      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.
