I feel really great. Probably about 95% back to normal. Today is my first day of purées and I feel brand new eating actual food!

Weirdly, my hunger never went away. It's not as intense as it used to be and of course is satisfied with a bite or two instead of a whole meal. Every day it gets easier and easier. You're still on full liquids? That's the hardest part.

Hi Bonniegold...I may have spoken too soon on feeling better on my 2nd week. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster from Sunday to Thursday. I think it was more noticeable after getting off the liquid pain med I was on. I'm feeling better today but my Dr and I realized I would not be able to return to work on Monday which will start my 3rd week post-op. He wants to allow more time for me to heal completely. Unfortunately, I wasn't one to bounce right back after major surgery. I know it will get better as time goes on.

      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.
