I have been back on a regular diet for a little over a week now and it feels awesome! But I am a little scared of how well I tolerate everything! I have no problems with Proteins, although I haven't tried beef and pork just yet of course.

I've had chicken, every Soup imaginable, coffee, potatoes, fish, shrimp, whole wheat toast, lobster, yogurt, mushrooms and much more. This week I've been starting to get hungry every 2-3 hours! My stomach is like an orchestra when I'm hungry. I always try and drink some Water though, to make sure it's not my head but it's usually real hunger. I guess my metabolism is faster??

I'm just wondering what everyone is eating one month out! Please let me know :)

I'm only 5 weeks out, but I get hungry every 2.5-3 hours. I will have half a Protein bar or yogurt or cheese as "snacks". My eating schedule is

8:00-breakfast..ham & cheese crustless quiches

11:00-lunch...3 oz deli turkey and 1-2 laughing cow light Swiss cheese

2:00- snack

And dinner is not always I set time so I only allow myself one "snack" per day.

Did you guys notice the weight not coming off as much now that you can eat what you want?

How big are your portions? My doc said to eventually get to eat every 3-4 hours but since my portions will be so small it should be fine, as opposed to now (well pre liquid pre-op diet) when sometimes I eat three huge meals and plus 1-2 Snacks.< /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.
