Ugh...yesterday was a really hard day for me. I used to eat when i was bored and yesterday would've been one of those days. We stayed home, not much to do...commercials on continuously for food and found myself "missing" all old junky food i used to eat. It was depressing! I know it takes time to get over my old relationship with food and I am doing that...i guess it's hard cause i'm on my 4th week of pureeds. I see the doctor on Thursday this week and am anticipating being bumped up to soft foods...hopefully that opens up a door for some different foods i can eat! Anyone else have these feelings?

commercials are the worse. Couple of them have made me want to reach through the TV. like Steak and shake, a burger never looked so good. Normally I am not hungry at all. I think it is like you said just bored and a bit of wanting what you can't have.

Mami is right. This feeling does pass. Once you are done mourning the loss of food in your life it gets better. Just like those that get upset when their family eats in front of them. We all need to remember this is truly a loss of something that has comforted us for years... never sassed back and just was always there for us. Remember we chose to have this surgery to take back control of our lives. Find your joy in things other then food. You can do this.

      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.
