I started picking up my one year old today and I feel fine. I held out as long as I could with my mom flying in to help and my ex husband helping this weekend but now we are on our own. Kinda dreading tonite because being by myself in the evening is when I miss food the most.

My advice is sugar free freeze pops, taste really bad for you but are just frozen fluids, I started them yesterday and they taste so sweet and flavorful but they are also good for me, cravings just go away

Be careful when picking up the baby. I know you don't have an option...but take it easy when you have to. ????. And just remember, you're not alone! You have made it 11 days! I remember when I was like 2 days out and think what the heck did I do...? But now I'm a month. Still have those moments, but when I do, I force myself to find something else to do. Like checking out bariatric pal. You can even word search topics, and see what other people had to say when they were feeling a certain way. Like for me... I'm a month out. I get regretful and depressed more often than I'd like to admit... So I'll search for those topics and read others advice, or post a new topic of my own. It helps me to feel grounded and keep on going. Just like you will do. One day at at time. You've got this!

      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.
