You're doing great! You'll get there before you know it. The first month after surgery can be difficult you'll feel back to yourself in no time I'm 6 months out and I could eat anything I want but I chose to only eating healthy choices. You'll be there soon. ????

Sweet meat, I am one week ahead of you. My surgery was 7/1 and I know how you're feeling! I started my mushy foods one week ago (applesauce, cottage cheese, oatmeal, runny mashed potatoes). It was so nice to have some real foods and helped my energy increase. I found the cottage cheese to be most satisfying because it's a but salty and has some texture.

I still tire very easily but am much better than before. Today was my last day of those damn Protein Shakes and tomorrow I get to start introducing some new foods (toast, avocado, scrambled egg, crackers, salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard) and I'm so excited! I wonder when we will start to feel full? I'm not physically hungry, just head hunger, but I miss feeling full! All these years I've either felt hungry or full and now I feel neither. When will I feel full again?

      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.
