The worst is over. Once you can get on soft foods, you should feel a lot better. It made a big difference for me. Congratulations on making that decision to improve your health and quality of life. Your first year will be up in no time.

My surgery date was August 13 so I completely understand what you may be going through. My biggest issue right now is the spasms after I drink my Protein. I'm told this subsides after a couple of weeks and I really hope so. Not really missing foods but I had no idea how many commercials there were on TV until now. Be grateful you have a support system.

I'm very grateful my concern is my biggest (in person) support is returning to work tomorrow he has helped ease my doubt and feelings of uncertainty since after surgery. Im not even allowed to have Protein Shakes will be calling my nut tomorrow to see what can be done as far as getting in adequate protein.

      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.
