I don't think you should, personally.

Maybe something a little less harsh on your new stomach. Whenever I think about seriiously eating, I ask myself if its head-hunger or is there an emotional tie, or if its just the memory of food leaving my system.

I also remember how my surgeon told me that he had someone go to a chinese buffet after surgery; her new sleeve didn't hold, cause she wasn't supposed to be on solids, and her stomach burst. She was in the hospital for 6 months, cause there was no way to surgically repair it...that keeps me from eating A LOT of things.

Depends on your doctors orders. I would Follow the rules for your safety. My doctor had me on solids week 3. I had to chew really well. Might only be able to get in one shrimp. It was a bit frustrating but I got through it and you will too. Good luck.

No problem. I am 7 mos in and I don't do Chinese much anymore. I eat according to what feels good and rice and pastas fill me up too quickly. If I have Chinese I have teriyaki chicken, no rice. I tried after a few months and it made me sick so I just recently tried it again and it was ok. Head hunger is the worse but it gets better. It gets to a point where you recognize the difference.

I totally agree with almost there, it does get better and you may just be experiencing head hunger. Hang in there and know it gets better!

      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.
