My Psychologist said something to me that has gotten me through a few rough times. He said, "when times are tough and you don't know why you would put yourself through this emotional and physical roller coaster, remember ALL the reasons you did this surgery in the first place."

This is very true. There will be days you want your life back but you then realize you don't want THAT life. You want the new one and you have to remind yourself of why you are making these changes.

I am on Tuesday 27th. I am so hungry. My head hurts! I am focusing on that instead freaking. I know this is the right decision. My husband is sitting beside me eating Oreo ice cream and apple pie. I don't want it at all. I just feel empty.

When did u get surgery bc u shouldn't be hungry nor allow urself to get hungry. Basically u should sip so often u are always fulfilled not stuffed.

      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.
