My feeling of fullness is sort of the same as it was pre-op--except it can happen a lot more quickly. One bite can make a big difference between being satisfied and feeling Thanksgiving-stuffed or actually uncomfortable. So I really try to follow my surgeon's recommendations on food volume, eat really slowly, and pay attention to my body. For example, I can eat 2.5 Morningstar meal starter vegetarian "meat"balls. If I eat 3, I am uncomfortable. (I give my dog half of one, and she is very happy!)

I've always 'dabbled' w vegetarian type food--- however id really like to 'embrace' it now---- I do gave a big fear of carbs - in the past the ONLY thing that worked for me was Atkins but very very low carb and cal--

Any ideas for me --- I've been researching it but now I'm overwhelmed and confused lol

I'd love ideas on how to go about - I've 'friended' fully raw and vegan and vegetarian type things on Facebook but I can't have anything like that yet-- I am 2 1/2 weeks preop-- thank you

      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.
