Looks like I'm the only Cuban lol My mom is Cuban and my dad is black. I'm really dreading not being able to eat spicy food and rice :( I heard the rice will expand in your stomach and spicy food may come out like flames lol I love adding serranos to everything and I probably will have to cut back on things that add heat for a while.

Don't worry you are not alone, my husband is Cuban & Italian and all he wants is his rice and Beans with steak empanizado. So I cook it. He loves bis Cuban sandwiches and who can resist ? Don't know how it will work when I can't eat that anymore...

I'm Colombian married to a Cuban Italian and he is a foodie. Lol. So I will face my challenges as I eat like a worm and his food will smell so good. For some reason Italians and Latina think food equals love... That's why they wanna feed us...

      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.
