@ that is what I am seeing too. Our surgery dates are close (9/30) for me, and I feel that as I have become more comfortable the past two weeks I may not have met my Protein goals.

@ Rileysmom22 I did enjoy a few treats myself. I am so thankful the sleeve did it's job. I was having a dab of carrot cake (literally a Tablespoon) and my daughter asked when I would be able to eat a full slice. It dawned on, me and I smiled at her and told her hopefully never. I am glad this tool stays with us.

I do have to say that I have also realized that the few sweet treats that I had made my sugar craving kick in really bad. When I realized it, I stopped and I am trying to clean my system back out so I don't want to munch as you mentioned. I guess I had never realized how powerful sugar was.

Happy New Year to all!

I live in Alberta Canada. And usually the 2 winter months aren't too hard on this gal. Until this year. I have been so cold this winter. Hubby and I are flying to Roatan Honduras today to go do some scuba diving. Can't wait to see how much better I will fit in the seats!

      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.
