Good to know, thx! Right now, food just seems like a wasted effort to me. I care nothing about spending time to prepare anything tasty as I can only eat a few bites anyway. Don't get me wrong, so proud that I can no longer binge, but just think it's easier to grab a piece of cheese than to waste time on something I won't enjoy. Thanks for posting this. I'm 2 months out, looking forward to the day that food is 'worth it'. I will say, I got my prayer answered, to eat to live rather than live to eat so definitely not complaining :)

1happy im not saying i love food the way i loved it before the sleeve, im simply saying i can eat and enjoy now and get my nutrients, i also eat to live now, i have no choice. i dont know if youve been sleeved or not but at some point nothing taste good not even the protien shakes you have to drink. my first soft food was eggs and refried Beans and they taste like metallic and rotten. that is not happeing to me now i actually can taste my food and enjoy it.

      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.
