I went and done the stupidest thing ever...I made my family the most beautiful pan of lasagna I've ever made in my life...5 days out from surgery. UGH! It didn't bother me a bit to make it, but later when they would heat up left overs, the smell literally made me drool every time. I finally sent the rest of the pan to work with my 20 year old son to share with the other guys he worked with. My

Husband said "that's not fair! I wanted more" I said "sorry bud, but I had to get it out my house, cause I was almost to the point of wantin to just get in it and roll around in it" I'm NOT kidding! I had no issues till I made that blasted lasagna and it's been downhill since with the food smells (Italian destroys me the worst!)

My mom has the same meals she's been making for YEARS; one of them is Spaghetti. Well, I don't know what happened, but about a year ago, I stopped liking it; the smell, the taste, everything! I've told her multiple times I don't like it.

Last night, guess what she made?? I know she made it with good intentions because she didn't wanna make something that would tempt me (4 days post op here), but I kid you not, I WOULD'VE EATEN SOME IF I COULD'VE!!!

Yeah, I was suprised at how good food still smells and that I kind of want it. I didn't think I'd want anything.

      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.
