Since I have started this journey I have realized that I am a bored eater. I eat when there is nothing to do. I am constantly checking my Facebook and coming on here to see if there are any new topics or updates to try to curb my mind off of food. I need a new hobby or activity. I can't walk to much because of my knee. I would go swimming more but I can't take the kids with me. Uggh! Does anyone else that's pre op feel the same way I do? The good thing is though since I have started to change my eating habits the food cravings and mind manipulation has went down dramatically. I now have some kind of control. Which is a good thing!!

I am exactly like that! I still get cravings when I'm bored. I don't think there's specific thing I do, to think about something else though. I do lots of clay modeling with the kids and take them outside the house often, just playing on the front yard. If you worry about overeating after surgery... stop- you will change your eating habits post op, trust me :)

Thanks for the advice! I recently started making tutus and hair bows. I just need to buy more supplies. I'm sure I will be doing a lot more of it in the future!

      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.
