I can easily recall the day when I would have walked thru that meal and been looking for a snack couple of hours later.

Some of us are pre-op and possibly still could if not for promises we've made to therapists, family, the last pair of pants that fits.... Thank goodness it's not available until after 9. I have 2 kids under 3. Leave the house after 9pm? That's cute.

Why is it all so cheap??? I can understand how low income families have the biggest weight problems, because you get so much food for so little money.

We've cut out processed foods this past month... The jump in our grocery bill was a shock! I know we'll get better as we get used to purchasing these healthy foods smarter, but the cheap, easy and horrible foods are definitely the cheap ones!! It's awful.

That's funny. Pregnancy was about the only time in my life I craved vegetables. I actually would lose some weight at a point in each pregnancy because I was gaining baby but losing fat. Don't worry though, I made up for it after delivery when that vegetable magnet was gone and nursing so I "needed" extra calories lol oh wow... I don't wanna talk about that time... That was bad! Lol

      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.
