Grin and bear it for 20 minutes!! I remember doing this with Thai food a month ago, thinking I could be handle 5 star ( out of 5). Big mistake. Not only was my throat closing up, but I could literally not taste the food. If you must have liquids, just take small amounts as not to create additional issues that come from being post op. maybe swish some ice Water in your mouth?

Water is a joke for relieving the burn. What you want is milk because it washes the oil off of your tongue.

You can build up a tolerance for spicy food, you just have to keep eating it. :)

Well, the no drinking with food is meant for flexibility... Docs don't want you oi fill up on Water and not on Protein. Additionally, they don't want the Protein that you did eat to go through the sleeve faster.

Think of hearty beef and veggie Soup or cold cereal- both of those have liquids and solids. So you CAN have liquids but make it a rule not to have it all of the time.... make it the exception.

Just have a sip or two and leave it at that

What's even better than milk is a small bite of bread. :) You do build up a tolerance and LOVE for it. If my husband's forehead isn't sweating, it isn't hot enough!! LoL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
