Hi,

I am 6 months out and have found that there are days that I am ravenous wanting to eat everything in sight and other days I have to 'decide' to eat. Anyone else experience this?

@@GigiRH YES! I go through this as well, sometimes I'm trying to eat and other days I keep getting hungry. I don't understand it.

Yes, I think this is common. I have an associate that had RNY a few years ago and she told me the same thing, some days no hunger, other days bottomless pit. I have days where I forget to eat, and days I want to eat all day.

Most days I am hungry, some more then others, and I was hoping this was not the case. I know how I really need to watch how much i eat.

      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.
