7 days post op I had a "mental" hunger where I just wanted to feel the texture and taste the flavor of REAL food! Then, I got a slight empty stomach feeling. But, like someone else said earlier, it's NOTHING compared to the starving feeling from pre-op. If anything, the "mental" hunger can be harder to handle. After all, there's only so much excitement I can conjure up for my Protein Shakes, three times a day. :/

My surgery was 10/10/12. Weighed in at 214.5 preop. I'm feeling really good. Not skinny yet and not sure how fast I will get there. At 206 this morning, 18 days out. Seems kind of slow going. Just trying to follow the program. No problems at all, thank goodness. Am trying to be be active. Glad I have your company on the journey.

Love the comment about those wonderful Protein Shakes! Lol I think I'm gonna try to putting some frozen fruit in mine so maybe it will feel like a real Dairy Queen smoothie! Lol

Keep up the good work! We had our surgery on the same date so will have to keep into touch for sure. Our surgery weight wasn't too far off either, cause I was 219 and now I'm 209. I gained 2 pounds then went back down on that 209 the next day....kinda crazy!

I took the full four weeks and had to add another due to the logistics for follow up appointments. My husband is having his surgery tomorrow morning. I need the time to just get into the swing of taking care of myself in this new fashion! I either get all my Protein in or all my Water, but have yet to do both. Vitamins are a work in process!

      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.
