@@sweeteyes504

i've always been amazed, felt bad for people that have to cook for their kids/hubby/parents etc

or just be around the food

it can be hard enough to watch what you eat

but to have all "those" other foods/smells around

that must be terrible!!!

thats great you haven't had any foods you are cooking for family

resisted temptation

it wouldn't "kill" anyone else to try and eat some of the "normal" food you make

you don't' have to tell them its "good"/healthy for them to eat ;)

i have seen on the board that spouses/ family etc will help/support sleever by eating what they cook

surprise, surprise - in the meantime OP loses weight too!!

stay strong!!!

i know you can do it!!!

good luck

      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.
