Oh man I totally know how you feel. Pre op was the hardest. I felt like all I was thinking about all day was food. But seriously after surgery it changes, it becomes much easier. Of course smelling things will make you want them but it's soo much easier to resist.

When did you have your surgery? I honestly can't wait till all this is over and done with

I am very very post op still. Just had it done 9/2...went in on Wednesday and came home Friday. When I got home...I slept SO MUCH...didn't even think about food. It was difficult. Lots of pressure I'm my chest n tummy. :( But every day that went by got better n better. I know exactly what u mean by moody!!! Our emotions are all jacked up. Even after, you'll be even crabbier!! Just try to keep ur eye on the prize ;) and we'll make it through!!

I just honestly feel like this is some sort of torture. Can't stand the chiken broth the smell is anoyying me. Getting tired of Jello and popsicles

I know what you mean!! I didn't do chicken broth pre op...because I knew I'd HAVE to do it post op and didn't want to be burnt out on it. Right now, I love it. :) and Instead pre op...I did shakes after shakes after shakes. Peanut Butter banana smoothies with Protein are SO FILLING and they are what got me through...occasionally, i had a cucumber with chili y limon...but i shouldnt have. alot of it is mental too. keep ur mind busy. watch Netflix. not TV because TV has so many BOMB food commercials...ugh.

So you slipped up on your two week post op diet. I'm hungry but I had a very minor slip and I felt guilty

I am very post op as well. My surgery was 9/1 but experienced the same things. Pressure and no desire to eat. At least not like I wanted to before , I will say the commercials did hurt post op ????. But I did notice everyone's pre op diet is different. I had to do liquids all day like shakes and was allowed one meal a day what could be a 4oz. Piece of meat and 2 cups of veggies. Was not as bad, I don't think I would be able to have done it. But my doctor also prescribed me an appetite supressant that worked miracles. It helped me get through the day.

Yes. I did. Not just once either. My bday was Aug 29. I went to olive garden. HORRIBLE. I know. But I'm VERY thankful all came out ok and that I haven't done or ate anything I shouldn't as of now. I know the guilt you speak of too. Lol....lots of things in common.

Hopefully you're feeling good now!! I know I am. Except for some Days, I have zero energy. -_- and you're totally right, everyone's pre op is so different!

      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.
