Just wondering how all of you are doing? I'm still batteling a bit with the hunger. My NUT says 3 meals no grazing but i find that if i do that I end up really hungry and then sometimes eating too fast when it comes to the meals. Any one else out there in the same boat? I go see my doctor on thursday so maybe he will give the go ahead of healthy snacking. Other than that scars doing good and down 29 lbs however I seem to be at the infamous stall...

Also, does anyone feel like their brain just isnt working back up to its normal presurgery thinking power? I still feel like my brain is slower these days

@@Jessica Radcliff - I am one day behind you and also stalling. I see my doc for the f/u visit tomorrow and I was hoping to be under 240 :(

I have caught myself chewing and ALMOST swallowing before I had the food to mush! and YES I feel like my brain is on power saving mode or something!

I am NOT alone!!!!!

      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.
