Loved your video! Your husband is cool and you are great. You have an awesome personality. As far as the drinking when eating--i know it's weird--but you will get used to it. I am almost six months post op and it is a habit I've formed without even thinking about it now! I don't even worry about it. The only time I've been tempted to drink when i eat is when I have been out in the 100 degree Texas heat all afternoon and try to eat. I will be all thirsty and hungry at the same time. I still wait to drink after I eat but it's a little harder because i'm literally parched. Most of the time though--I don't even think about drinking and eating at the same time. It is a part of my life now :-)

So cute you two! Love seeing a supportive husband and love that you talked about sex. I have more "desire" after one week but my husband is afraid.

I'm 9 days out & I'm having a rough time every time I smell food I feel as thou I am going to go crazy if I don't get any. I'm on phase 2. I am so ready for food. It seems as everyday I am regretting getting this done as of right now. I mean I cry & throw a tantrum like a 3 with my husband. ( over food) What's going on with me?

      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.
