Recommended Posts

Omg what do you guys do instead of eat?! I am craving and fiending for something beefy and gravy-ey. I'm like Tucan Sam. In following my noise everywhere its not supposed to be. All I can think about is eating. I've been googling "how long does it takes until I can eat a regular. " and that should be the last thing on my mind because I'm losing so slowly. I know that every one losses at a different rate but my rate turtle. I just want to eat. What do you guys do to get rid of or through this?

I hope your not looking at food because if you are your just Going to make yourself crazy! My surgeon said from the beginning "you better find a new hobby because you are about to realize how much of your life revolved around food!" Boy was he right! So find yourself a new hobby to distract yourself....and not a cooking hobby 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.
