Me! Friday I get to have tuna! I'm so excited! Yogurt and applesauce are my salvation now. I bought lots of different flavors.

Like you, I'm sick of the shakes! Hate the strawberry but I'm forcing myself to drink them. They make me feel full.

Haha. I'm in the same boat! I told my family if they loved me they wouldn't eat burgers and fries they'd have thinned down Soup with me. They all looked at me and kept eating lol.

Hey all, I'm about a month ahead of you and just wanted to let you know purees made everything better including that "hunger". Be patient. Relief is coming.

Hungry? I am never hungry and just eat because I need too. I was told the hunger hormone would be fine roughly a yr. So strange how our differences show. I still like food on s mental level but when you can only eat 1-1 1/2 oz at a time the "pleasure" is short lived. Guess that is one way it is helping my mental food demons.

Totally hungry and completely sick of liquids. Was sleeved on the 26th. Pre op diet two weeks and now all liquid post op. Have my two week appt with doc and nut on among any and hope to get released to purée or mushy or whatever. Anything has to be better than this. First week I was totally full, this week not so much.

Meant to say I'm seeing them on Monday. Autocorrect can be so weird. Anyway, are you feeling full on small amounts of food now? It's my biggest concern, that I'll be the one sleever in history who still has a huge appetite!!

I'm now on pureed foods and finally able to calm the hunger with something other than a Protein shake- though i still have to drink them to get all the Protein requirement in- i'm surprised with how little i'm eating- and feeling satisfied! Sounds like a lot of us on this app have that same concern about stretching our stomaches! How are you doing???

How are all aug 26th sleevers doing????

You were also sleeved on 26th right? What type of puréed food have you had? I'm still waiting for Monday's appt with surgeon and dietician...I plan to make a crockpot of refried Beans and I found a yummy looking ricotta bake recipe I might put together. Anything, please, other than liquid!!!! :)

      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.
