YES..... One time I counted and the figure shocked me..... It is the worst during the day! You will love the yogurt and refried Beans. You will fill so full. But, the liquid stage is really important..... Your stomach swelling needs time to go down. Best wishes!

When I was in the hospital, there was nothing on TV, when I was awake that is, so I watched a little bit of cooking shows. Not sure if I was mourning food or just craving it, but saw some really healthy recipes and the food looked so yummy. Too bad I wasn't awake enough to write down the recipes. LOL

The food Network was my one of my favorite channels before the sleeve. I quit watching when I realized it was cruel, like pulling wings off of a fly,....and I was the fly. :huh:

I've been thinking the same thing! Now that I don't have the liberty to pull up in the drive thru to order what I want I've seen Sonic come out with sweet potato tater tots, Taco Bell come out with the cooler ranch taco, and McDonald's come out with a steak, egg, and cheese Breakfast wrap, and let me not mention the pizza Hut commercials! They are literally making my mouth water!

I had to laugh when I saw your post. I remember being on liquid/blends stage, and every other commercial seemed to be a food one.. I remember saying to myself whats with all the food commercials. It was driving me crazy.. Now at food stage and it does not bother me anymore.. But the moral to the story is. There are really a lot of food commercials out there.. geez!!!

Loved those tacos. And now they came out with cool ranch doritos tacos. Would love to try it, but it's so not worth it now.

Don't even get me started on the food network. It is on at our house all the time. Yesterday after the 3rd episode of Chopped, I told my step daughter that I was changing it. She says "Why" I'm like, "Seriously??? I CAN'T EAT!!! Like Anything!!" Oh and I should point out that while they were watching chopped they were making Breakfast for dinner...with Bacon. :angry:

      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.
