For me, there is a significant difference in "hunger" now. I can eat or not, drink or not-BUT, if I see something good, or smell something yummy-it's then that I think I'm hungry and want to eat it. It's the same for craving food with crunch or even just a little bit of substance to chew on.

The 1st few days after surgery I was always thirsty, that only happens at night now when I wake up and have to reach for my Water and take a sip necause my mouth is dry. I have to be cognizent of getting in my water and Protein, or I think I would go most of the day without much nutrition. Finding it crazy that I'm worried about eating over 450 calories....

So basically its mental? The "hunger" for something yummy? its not so much that youre really "hungry" & HAVE to eat something.

Thats how i think now pre-surgery i can eat something and i can see or smell something better and want to stuff my face with it, maybe old habits die hard?

I'm up late and can't fall asleep! I have to be up in 4 hours to get ready to go to the hospital. My surgery is the first one in the morning. My mind is just running. I'm just hoping for some peaceful sleep tonight. Goodnight all

      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.
