Wow.. Tara yeah we see the difference... congrats.. Can I ask what date was your surgery and what are u eating for the diet? I need some i de ideas :)

I had surgery on September 5th. Im almost back to full solids now so my diet may be a little different than yours at this stage... I dont have any specific things that im eating, as far as like recipes and stuff. I bean chili with no meat, im making the ricotta bake everyone raves about tonighy so we'll see how that tastes. Ive struggled with knowing exactly what to eat so I get in ruts from time to time.

HI Everyone My surgery was Sept 23rd, I was wondering if anyone else has started to feel hungry? Today I've been wanting to eat salty foods, almost craving them. I wasn't sure if this is normal or maybe it's just my head telling me I should be eating.

Are you getting all your Water in? Craving salty could be a sign of dehydrated. I had surgery on September 4th and have been dehydrated - I should have gone to the Doctor - instead I just keep pushing the fluids. I track my water intake because I am so bad at getting my 64 oz in a day. I have to ask myself if I am hungry or is it a craving. I would live to eat - now I eat to live - believe me I could eat - I was really afraid the Doctor was going to tell me after surgery that he had never seen such a big stomach!

      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.
