I am SO hungry! I've seriously resorted to looking at pictures of food to satisfy my craving!!! This is what a drug addict must feel like when going through withdrawal!! 3 more days of full liquid and then on to puréed foods! I can't WAIT to eat some mashed 'taters!! Lol!!! I cooked dinner for the fam for the first time since surgery; turkey breast, Spanish rice and salad. I was drooling worse than our dog when we crack open the treats! Smh!! Just had to vent!! Carry on! :)

Love the title of this thread, and your humorous "vent"! It does get better - once you get to dense Proteins, you probably won't be so hungry, and might find eating is more effort than you thought for a little while. I loved me some mashed 'taters during that stage, too (a whole 2 oz of them, lol!)

I remember thinking all I wanted was some marina sauce and chicken breast puréed. That was my first meal lol. I ate it for almost all of my meals for the first day I could. My husband at the time told me how crazy it sounded but it hit the spot once I was able to have it.

Good job keeping on track and only a few more days and you'll be so happy :)

Thank you! I have to laugh to keep from crying! I'm drinking more Protein shakes (yuck) and that is helping with the hunger. How far out are you? Are you loving your results?

      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.
