A wise friend who had bypass told me that it's funny; her stomach will tolerate a lot more "junk" than it will healthy food. She got herself going in the wrong direction but quickly righted her ship. What the doctors preach is true in every account: Protein first, Protein first, protein first.

I think the time to really focus is long before the six month mark. This isn't really directed at you, because what is done is done, and you just have to do your best to get back on track, but more for people (like me) who are early in their journey.

I think the first year is the time to retrain your brain while the restriction is at it's best, so when your body adjusts and your are able to eat more, you've broken those carb addictions, or whatever your vice may be. I'm not saying I'm going to be perfect in my first year (hell, I'm only three weeks out), but I have to keep reminding myself that the things I'm "giving up" for now may have a small place back in my diet someday, or (even better!) I may not even crave them any more!

      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.
