I just came from the clearance from my primary care physician (sleeve surgery in one week) - I hadn't seen him since the clearance for my band removal surgery in April. He made a big fuss about me gaining 10+ lb gain. I was feeling awful enough myself but the hunger was incredible. I've been cutting back and going low carb the past week but I am still up a lot. My surgeon said it was to be expected. Just feel awful now - next tuesday can't come fast enough.

Thank you! I feel so dumb for being back here AGAIN being fat-shamed. Also I didn't get his point- I know I have a problem that is why I hot a lap band 8 years ago and lost 100lbs and maintained for a long time. That is why I'm having 85% of my stomach removed!!

      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.
