Hi. I had surgery on March 22nd. I am physically healing well with very little discomfort. But I'm hungry! I can't wait to get to the puree stage. I am definitely noticing a change in the taste of food. I am also craving every food commercial on TV. I read about of posts on here and feel like i have great company and a lot of good ideas. This is a great support tool! More to come soon

Oh gosh yes, head hunger is the worst!! As for the taste changes, yeah, i had 1 m&m today ( yeah i know) but i didn't like it at all. Which is great, cuz with Easter right around the corner my son is going to have candy floating around, and at least this year i know i won't be eating it, or wanting to eat it! Hang in there!!!

      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.
