So l am 4 days post op.. And although l dont get hungry, l love the look and the smell of the food that my fiance cooks for herself.. I know that l cant eat the food, but l like to watch her eat.. I find it very satisfying to watch her take bites, and eat this wonderful food.. She thinks there is something wrong with me, and finds the whole thing creepy.. What do you guys think???

I don't find that any creepier than my personal aversion to watching others eat. I'm about over that stage, but it's lasted for nearly 11 months! :)

You're a guy, though. Guys react differently to lots of things than women do. At least I assume you're a guy. :)

I don't think it's creepy at all and I'm a girl. Lol

I know exactly what you mean though coz most of my conversations with my friends are some variation of this;

Me; hows it going...did you cook today? What did you eat?

Friend; ummm I made stir fry today....guess who got fired from their job???

Me; wait so was it chicken or beef?

Friend; it was chicken.....can I finish telling you this news

Me; hold on!....so you just served it over white rice then? Was it good?

Friend; you're so weird.

For some reason I live vicariously through the people around me when it comes to their eating so I totally get you. Im almost 2 weeks post op and food is all I think of. Perhaps this is part of the detoxing period.

      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.
