Ten+ weeks out, and for the most part everything is going great! One weird sensation, though... I frequently feel like I have a hair, or several hairs stuck on my tongue. Mostly this is on the back on my tongue, but sometimes the feeling is on the side as well. But when I reach for the offending hair, I never find anything. It's phantom fuzz! I've tried brushing my tongue extra hard with my toothbrush, but nothing changes. It causes me to drink a lot of Fluid, so I guess that's one good aspect of it. But it's still pretty annoying. Has anyone else had this experience?

Do you have white Patches in your mouth? If so it may be thrush. I hope you get it figured out. I hate it when a wild hair gets in my mouth. Gross

When I was drinking Isopure I felt I had fuzz/hair in my mouth and tongue. First day I changed that and don't feel it anymore. Yours could be many things - might be a good idea to get your doctor to check it for you at next visit.

Thanks everyone! Jen, I think you may have nailed it. This morning I was telling a friend that it seems to begin when I drink my Protein shake in the morning, and it lasts all day. My shake box has a plastic film covering the opening. I used to think that a small piece of the film had come loose and gotten stuck in the back of my mouth. But since it has occurred pretty much every day since I started drinking the stuff, it must be a reaction of some sort. Don't know what I'm going to do, though, because this is the one brand I really like and I drink it every morning for Breakfast. 30 grams of Protein, Baby!

      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.
