i usually dont put up personal feelings up ...but i figured i made this page to have some support from people who has either going through or has been in my position. but im trying to be on a normal diet, smaller meals, 6x a day, i havent had any soda in weeks, really not any crazy sweet snack and i still dont feel like im doing to good at eating on time. i either eat to close or too far apart from each other. and sometimes i miss a meal. im trying but i feel like im failing at it. i really havent lost any weight just a few lbs... ugh... this is so frustrating... i wish i had someone close also having the surgery going through this with me

:( :blush:

Hi Miss Jessica! Have you had your surgery yet? It's great that you're trying to start early if not, but rest assured your body will tell you after your surgery. I made multiple alarms on my phone at first, to remind me when to eat. Maybe try that...and be sure you're eating only a little and still drink plenty of fluids. Good luck and keep us posted. :)

Don't be so hard on yourself. Everything is a learning process. A few mishaps doesn't mean you've failed. Just keep trying and day by day things will improve. Best of luck!

      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.
