I probably shouldn't have mentioned I was a smoker to my surgeon, but I did because I feel I'm being held accountable now! Lol! Good luck to you. You can do this! Take it one day at a time. It gets better after 3 days? I'm finding day 3 to be a little tricky keeping the cravings at bay, but it's managable. Do you havd any Chantix side effects?

I'm betting tomorrow will be better for you!

I really can't think of any side effects that Chantix has given me. I hear a lot of people have really vivid dreams but I can't remember one dream i've had in 16 days! I constantly had cough drops in my mouth and someone here recommended a peppermint stick which helped too to keep in my hand and mouth, but I also found a pen was helpful in my hand when driving, etc.

But I did get the Nicotine Free 0% e-cigarette filter to use bc I really wanted a cigarette and didn't want the nicotine or any other chemicals to set me back to fail! And it did help my craving..just havaing something to puff on ya know!

Good luck & if you have any questions, just ask!

      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.
