A Big Mac and fries!!

Hehehe.. But what I found it best, and I know this sounds gross but I was hungry and wanted real food!

Was to purée a little roasted chicken with a little broth or gravy. Or you can purée some turkey meat loaf with some watery gravy and a bit of mashed potatoes. I bought instant mashed potatoes and made then really watery and also make the gravy watery because purées have to be mushy.

Eventually you will want to not eat mashed potatoes but in the first weeks go for it :)

Laura you will still get "hungry" but it is the normal kind of hunger.. Like when your body needs food , it's very different from head hunger...

      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.
