Am I the only one that feels like I have to eat all day in order to get my Protein and 900 calories in? I never would've thought eating would be so hard. Not as in painful but a pain as 4-5 bites and I'm full or half a shake n it's the same thing. I kinda feel like a little piggy when I eat every 2-3 hours. Lol anyone have this problem or any suggestions?

Me too! If I am not eating or drinking, I am planning how to fit it all in. But small price to pay :-)

I feel the same way! Instead of enjoying what eat now, it's more like a chore lol - yes agreed, small price to pay. I just feel like now I have to map my life around 30 mins before, 30 mins after and know if I don't keep the schedule tight... I'll never get it all in lol

It seems like I spend all day either eating or drinking. By 8:00 at night I still haven't eaten enough Protein or calories so I am stuffing in another Protein Drink or bar maybe a piece of cheese before I go to bed. If I don't eat at lease 900 calories I wake up in the middle of the night hungery.

I was thinking this was just me. I feel like I am cheating in some way eating all the time like I'm not supposed to. And now that swelling and such is gone it feels even harder to get in. It seems like everything is backwards of what I thought it would be.

      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.
