Sometimes my mind tries to trick my sleeve. "Pssst.... if you eat really fast, you could probably eat a little more." The good news is that my sleeve rules the plate. :) I pretend to stick my fingers in my ears and say "Lalalalalalalalala!" I only put a cup of food on my bread plate for a meal, or about the equivalent. We have pizza every Sunday night and I have one slice - 1/8 of a regular size frozen pizza (so it's about 180 calories). This is when my brain REALLY starts talking. Nope, not worth it. My sleeve will talk back if I try to eat more than one slice. (Literally making those weird gurgling noises.)

      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.
