This is a very interesting thread! It sounds like what you want has totally changed. That is actually supported by research that shows food selection changes after vsg and Rny independent of post surgery healing restrictions. So, Hooray! I'm about a month away from my surgery date and feeling nervous so I love success stories like yours. Thanks so much for sharing AND for your transparency about how it was for you prior to surgery! Rock on!

I haven't had the surgery yet, but I can only liken these stories to when I get the flu--my cravings change. While normally, I would really like pizza, chips, wine, and whatnot, when I get the flu my cravings shift to a desire for bland oatmeal, chicken noodle Soup, and diet sprite. The other foods I would normally crave repel me a bit because they seem to lack nutrition and things (especially the wine) feel uncomfortably "rough" going down. These, of course, are the weeks where I have lost 5 lbs.

      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.
