Just explain to them that it is very sweet out of them to offer, but you are trying to do this for yourself, and that you can use all of the support you get. I hope they are willing to support you more <3

I have really tried to avoid but we work in small quarters...I really haven't told everyone about my surgery and I am just going to politely let everyone know I'm cutting back on bad food. Thanks for your support thru this. My surgery is July 11 and I have been cutting back but I have also fell off the bandwagon. I hav practically ate everywhere I have always liked one last time and I've made good choices. I am so ready to start this journey out with the old in with the new! For the puréed stage I'm still having trouble with my menu, so far I have chicken salad, tuna, Soups, puréed any other ideas? Thanks guys!

      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.
