I've seen a lot of these posts. All that I know is that some people do feel hunger early on. Past suggestions I have read are: 1) Up your water; 2) Make sure you are on a PPI; 3) Up your Protein.

I don't know when hunger is suppose to "return" but at 4.5 months out I definitely feel the hunger it just gets satiated easily.

It does get easier!! When your solids stage start this awful liquid phase will rapidly feel like a bad nightmare!

Thanks Christine. For me I think it's all in my head. Coming to the realization nope this is not going to be the magical cure. It's a lot of hard work ahead of me. Oh also I quit smoking the day before my surgery that could be contributing too.

It's one of the hardest things you'll do! It's quite the emotional roller coaster in the beginning. Hang in there and it will get better. It becomes incredibly rewarding as the weight comes off and your life starts to feel normal again. It will.

      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.
