My boyfriend is having the sleeve on 12/31. Christmas was really tuff. We had my kids over for dinner and he is on a the pre-op liquid diet. I felt really bad even guilty about cooking a traditional Christmas feast.

Anyone out there feeling the same??

My mom felt the same way. I had surgery Dec 16th, so I was on full liquids when Christmas rolled around. I told her not to worry about and it was the first of many times I would have to control my food lust; mainly because I didn't have a choice anymore! It was rough, and I did have to get out of the house for a while, but my family and the people on here were very supportive ???? best of luck to him!!! I have dropped 20 pounds in 2 weeks and I am still in disbelief, lol!!!

My husband had his band surg. Dec 4th., and Christmas was tuff at our house also. I did make him a sugar free desert with low fat cream cheese and Splenda, topped with juice from sugar free cherry pie filling. But you really do feel awful!

Hi! My wife had gastric bypass on May 14th (her birthday). Pre-op diet was so hard. I felt bad every time I even mentioned being hungry. Now I'm just now getting over my guilt. Mainly because she doesn't have the same feeling toward food as before. She doesn't get hungry like before and I have to remind her to drink Water and eat.

      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.
