@@wvandemark I think experiencing hunger is different for everyone. My sister thought she'd starve to death before her first fill and I'm 9 days out after surgery and I'm hardly ever hungry. I'm so excited for you!

Yes I'm now 10 days out and only fighting "head hunger". I now truly understand what that means. I have not really had any physical hunger yet. I really hope it stays that way!! Today is my first post op. I'm down 13 pounds.

Ha ha! Its funny you said sorry (it got posted twice!) for the multiple identical posts! hee hee...

Im now 9 days out, found some papers with recommended dietary guidelines for these transitions.

AM enjoying slowly bringing in foods like cottage cheese and chicken in chicken Soup, vegetables.

Still making Shakeology chocolate Protein shakes and shared half a banana a while ago. Wowza.

food tastes good but it is slowly becoming something I think less about for enjoyment and more about nutritional quotas. That said, Im in Mexico and though there is food EVERYWHERE on every corner, i

mostly has something todo with a tortilla or other corn based bread product and meat so its easy to stay away cuz those would not feel good right now Im sure!

Maybe its easier to do he post surgery adjustment here and then i Costa Rica vs the USA. Especially when, where Im from on th eEast Coast, they are about to be hit with mega storm and the fun thing to do when locked in side is eat yummy things. REmoved that temptation!

I see doc again on Friday and leave to CR on Saturday at the crack of dawn. Exciting!!

Head back March 1- hopefully down another bit before I return and fully back to solids (3 cups a day of mostly Protein n veggies. Though last two days Ive experimented with new foods- delicious and as long as i eat slowly, stay away form breads/starches and not alot, seems I can eat anything (so far). But Im very very cautious. I think Im healing faster b/c I was a pretty healthy eater before this and also moved alot (biking and dancing and swimming etc...)perhaps the active lifestyle before hand has helped me to heal faster. NOt sure. Ill see doc AND nutritionist) again before CR and see what they have to say. What about you? And will you fill out your stats? WOuld be cool to see your before and after and goals!

Best, ElisaBandida

      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.
