Hi, I'm only 6 days post-op, but am already thinking I may have made a mistake. I don't want to live a life of deprivation. food is around us at every occasion, am I just to sit there and eat nothing all the time? I'm so confused as to what my future will look like in regards to food/eating..,,

You will be able to eat anything you want (that is if it agrees with you and your sleeve). I am 6 months out but when I go to monthly meetings and events, I never am at a loss for something to eat and have been that way for months. It's the same when you go out and eat. I never have trouble finding anything on the menu I can eat. Please don't worry about it right now. You will not be deporived. Your food intake amount is decreased, but as far as depriving yourself, you won't. I had my 6 month visit today, and my Dr. told me he didn't think I was eating enough! You will not be someone sitting there eating nothing, so don't worry about it. this is the best thing you could have done for yourself and your health.

Thank you guys for your support. I feel as if I'm mourning food! It's crazy! I know it'll get easier, it has everyday. But hearing it from others that have been there is priceless.

      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.
