I'm feeling great! My surgery was 9/19, the day after you! So far, I've had no problems! As long as I eat enough Protein, I do not get hungry. If I do sometimes I get a spoonful of the new whipped jiffy Peanut Butter and that really helps!! Also laughing cow cheese wedges are great and only 35 calories a wedge. One normally does the trick for me! I'm glad you are doing well! I'm from PA! Where are you from?

Great!! I'm from MA! I also use the laughing cow cheese for snack, and help me too...Refried Beans, cheese, tuna, chicken, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, and Protein shakes (I just can take one per day)!.. I don't know yet when I'm full when I eat, I just measure my food..and you?

I have found when I'm too full I start to hiccup!! I thought that was weird but I've read that can be normal! I, too, eat tuna, chicken, yogurt, scrambled eggs with a half if slice of cheese , cottage cheese and I mix no sugar added jelly and Protein Shakes which sometimes I add baby food fruit to it to give it a better flavor! Sometimes it's harder for me when I'm making lunch for my children, I have 4 year old twins and a 2 year old. But we have all really turned our eating around, making healthier choices. And they don't even realize it! My husband is even losing weight! So that's good! I'm happy for you! My weight as of my surgery day was 320 today was 300! I almost into the 200's again and that will be awesome!

I was sleeved on the 19th. I am down 24 pounds. I have found when I find myself getting hungry all the time usually a glass of crystal light helps. I think a lot of it is thirst.

I agree, I do try and get something to drink, as well! Were you told to no longer drink caffeine? I was!

      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.
