I struggle with head hunger and the drive to exercise, but so far have been doing well with that the past few weeks. Oh and Water intake.

I HATE cold food. Having to eat a small amount slowly is driving me nuts. Waiting between bites so it doesn't hurt is smart but cold food at the end is nasty. Hopefully this too will pass. 4 weeks out!

Definitely head hunger. I am 5 weeks and 1 day post op and I am that person that always FEELS hungry even when I am not. I have to plan ahead what I will eat for the day on the day prior and I find that knowing what and when I am going to eat curbs the head hunger a bit.

Also, I seem to want to eat every 2 hours or so and I was hoping that would subside and I could get to just 3-4 meals each day. That will happen, right?

I am a recovering 'Sugar Addict"...Everytime I try to get out, Krispy Creme tries drags me back in by developing another delish pastry the size of my head. I work in a large office building, and there they are, every morning!!..I drag me and my coffee back to my office.. donut free. I gotta get a Kerig in my office. But so far, so good, Im not tempted, just incredulous at the size there getting!

I really want to guzzle a lot of Water and milk! Not sip it, or just 3-4 swallows at a time

. Guzzle it, cuz I love water!

I miss cooking my meals. I haven't found it worth my time to cook a piece of fish, or one piece of meat which will last me a couple of days. Already I've got baggies in my freezer with little portions of what I've cooked to date. I've just gotten small containers of chicken salad from here or there, or whatever. I have to get better about this, though.

Bowel movements: I love the normal ones, shape and size, curly swirl. Now, rare and kinda like baby poop. I took two Perdiems last night and...it was a great morning today :-).

But, six weeks since the vsg and 30 pounds are gone, so I won't complain about these things, and that includes a one week stall ~4th week.

I still struggle with ....wanting (in my head) diet coke! I had GS surgery in May 2013. I gave up diet coke at end of March cold turkey ( weaning off didn't work for me). I did not realize I was addicted to diet coke until this surgery. It is still very hard, but I am staying strong and not giving in. I work on Water, Protein, and supplements.< /p>

      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.
