I'm with you Anne, I can eat ANYTHING. The time of day is more an issue with me. In the morning, I really have to take it slow and easy and drink a warm liquid between bites. By supper time, I much less restricted, but I have to admit that most of my problems come in because I'm in too much of a hurry. I can eat any kind of bread too, but I don't push my luck - I rip it into tiny pieces and chew it really good.

Hi Leannie,

Yep, I also feel more restriction in the morning. I don't try and push it. I have my coffee and then after a couple of hours I eat Breakfast, but it is definitely my smallest meal of the day. By dinner I can eat considerably more... I recall some discussions in the past about this. I think donali had some comments about one of the doctor's in Mexico. He was saying that our biggest meal of the day should be breakfast, then lunch and the smallest meal dinner. I think the analogy was used: Have breakfast like a Queen, lunch like a Princess and dinner like a Pauper. :D

Each day I try to remember this and set out with a strategy, but hunger rules every time and I am just not as hungry in the morning as I am at night. Other times of the month also have an effect on my hunger... I seem to have more hunger pains during ovulation and my cycle. Everyday is a new adventure, I am trying to enjoy the ride!:D

      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.
