You are not alone. This is what I do.

I eat Protein first a small amount 1/2 cup and I'm not hungry no biggy but I wait at least 1/2 hour to a hour to eat something else still 1/2 cup I eat nuts cheese and drink Powerade the zero one or Water in between I fall in my weakness and eat something I'm not supposed but I don't eat a lot of something a bite or two.

If you always eat something and keep something in your system you will adjust from living to eat TO eating to live.

Best of luck

rgraven319 - We are so much a like. My surgery was 11/19 and I have lost 36 pounds. I am always hungry. I actually ate a big oatmeal cookie on Sunday to see if I would dump and no, I don't. I was hoping this would scare me not to eat it but no such luck. I could eat all day long. I am doing my best not to snack. I do have bites of naughty stuff but it keep my sanity. But I still feel like I am failing.

Guys don't shoot yourself down if you don't give yourself a small treat every once in a while you WILL fail the dr don't want you not to enjoy yourself ever just not every day pick one day or sometimes two a week and have a naughty food and move on dont stress because that will depress you and make you do it more it took about 6 months to get hungry but some are shorter and some are longer I suggest myfitnesspal app you enter your food and portions and don't lie. I remember averaging between 800-1200 cal and you will lose weight with that real high Protein good complex carbs and not a lot of them few veggies they give you gas lol. Hang in there I'm 18 months out I've lost 168 lb I'm trying to stop but can't find my sweet spot on calories have fun it will come off just don't eat too many naughty foods but live happy I was so afraid when I was where y'all are and the plateaus will freak you out but have no fear they do end

Remember the 80% rule. If you eat well 80% of the time you will be okay. Honestly, will power is a huge part of the surgery. It's not a sort term diet you can give up on-- don't get too discouraged. Make sure you're eating lost of Protein, it will help fill you up and stay full longer. Also, make sure you are drinking your water!

      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.
