Lol I feel you on that one!! My mom came over to take me to the hospital. When I opened the door she had two trays of Cookies and a cookie hanging out of her mouth!! :)

We are taking the kids to Disney land on Christmas so I don't have to sit around and watch the food fest!!

Sorry to hear that. If it were me I'd tell them to hide the knives !! It is unheard of for anyone in our family to not be there fir Christmas and at first I felt selfish of not going. But then I realized I've lived my life worry about other people and their needs. Now is the time to think about ME ;)

I'm going to lose it if my husband complains about being hungry one more time as i'm choking down some Protein, and then he goes and gets Mcdonalds. :(

When you get cravings like that it's coming from your head and not your body. Just stop and realize that it's not something your body needs and it's just something your head wants. You won't starve by not eating those things. You can beat this.

Agree.

You need to find out your triggers and it sounds like one of them is the TV.

However, know that later, your real hunger will come back. For me, losing the weight was fairly easy. I did what they told me to do and I also exercised. Still do, almost daily. I am a year out now. My real hunger is back, although it is better than it was before the sleeve. Maintaining the weightloss is harder. Much harder.

Now is the time to learn to eat properly, use that sleeve as a tool and start healthy habits.

Good luck!

      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.
