I am 9 months out. I did amazing - one of the best decisions I have EVER made..... almost too good to be true.

Driving home from a get together tonight, my husband wanted to stop at dunkin doughnuts. We did and he got a doughnut and I had a munchkin (only 1). In the car ride home I said to him, "OMG this tastes gross, do you remember when I could eat 10-15 of these? Do you remember when I was ADDICTED to them and stopped almost every day?"

He responded, "Yes. Do you recall when you would ask me to stop on my way home from work and get some and I would say no? Do you recall all the fights we had because I wouldnt stop and didn't want to contribute to your munchkin addiction? You were crazy about it. You were out of control."

Yes, he was right! In retrospect I DEMANDED he get them. If he didn't I would be LIVID and angry. I dont agree with him tonight 100% but I can look back now and see how nuts I was about my foods.

I am sooooo glad those days are behind me.

      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.
