I don't like seeing TV food commercials and driving by the cooking smell of food from restaurants. It's easy to close my eyes during the commercials but I can't close my nose. You'll deal with your problem some way that works for you. After your surgery the smells will still be there but some day your foods will smell just as good but far less quantities. Best of luck and persevere.

I'm sorry happymama2014 I didn't realize you already had your surgery until after I sent my last post. Good luck with your progress.

I know how you are feeling. I am on my liquid diet and everyone's food smells so delicious. And every commercial on TV seems to be about food. Even the preacher this past Sunday was talking about food. My kids know how I was feeling when they seen my face and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hang in there. We can do this!

My surgery is tomorrow. So today's my last day of work and it's Clear Liquids. It's okay I'll be fine. I just decided when I return to work I will still be on mushy foods so during the regular lunch hour I'll just go do my walking around the state capital park:) then have my stuff when I get back it won't be bad stuff I love yogurt and mushy things LOL

      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.
