Mine is going to be straws! I drink everything with a straw. So good bye to my camel backs.

Wine! I know that makes me sound like a total lush, but it's been really tough, especially with warmer weather coming. My husband is a wine maker so it's kind of a big part of our life, and I know I'll be able to have it again, but for me it's been harder than any food I've given up.

I also really hate not being able to drink Water after I eat. That's been a strange transition, too.

BTW- I'm 11 weeks and I've used straws occasionally. But not until I was like a month out

I have such a nice wine collection. :( But I'm hauling it back to my friends back home. At least someone will drink it up.

I never gave up my straws!! I have never had a problem with gas, so I told them it just wasn't a concession I needed to make. They said as long as I'm getting all my Water, and I'm not having trouble with air, I was good to keep my straws!!

I have sensitive teeth so that's why i use straws in mostly all drinks. I've given up dt Pepsi before so i can do that easily again. I told my husband just be prepared to see different things in the refreshment fridge, also he drinks coke products and i can't stand them so soda is going to be no problem for me.

Popcorn and soda

I love popcorn but it does not reciprocate. My daughter is having me put a list of no no's on the fridge so she can keep a eagle eye on me.

      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.
