Make a schedule and stick to it. I take one multi vit with Breakfast and one with dinner. I take my Calcium with lunch. My nutritionist has me outlined for 3 "bigger meals" and 1-2 Snacks. So, for Breakfast I'll have a scrambled or hard boiled egg, and some fruit. lunch can be a turkey wrap (1/2 a healthy wrap like from La Tortilla's brand), and dinner is 2-3 oz of chicken and a veggie. Snacks can be lots of things... today I brought to work with me chopped up tomatoes, mozzerlla cheese, tossed with basil and basalmic vinger, and then some cucumber slices, peeled and some hummus for dipping. I try to eat every 3 hours or so. And in between I've always got liquids in my hand, either Water or a Vitamin Water zero or something. Maybe the hunger you're feelng is thirst?

Congratulations on your 45 pounds! :P

      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.
