Greetings all. I agree that the fun has gone. However, I am 5 months our and I have found that when I do crave junk food (fries, coke, burger, pizza), I allow myself 2-3 bites and I am satisfied. More importantly for me though, the food makes me feel sluggish and bloated afterwards, so it makes me think twice before doing it again.

That is a great solution. It follows kind of what the dr.said too. They said to quit worrying so much, that it will get better as time goes on.

There is no fun in food anymore. I don't enjoy it. most everything makes me sick. I'm only 2 1/2 months out. I hear it does get better but at this point I only eat not to die

Why should food be fun? Is brushing your teeth fun? Is taking a shower fun? (I'm not talking about the kind you take with someone else!)

food can take a backseat in your life, as you find more and more things you can do at your new size!

I think eating now feels like sex without an orgasm. It gets the job done but there isn't much satisfaction afterwards.

I'm getting tired of the limited liquid diet, I'm looking forward to eating what I want again.

On that note, my niece had this proceeder done 2 years ago. As soon as she was able to eat she stretched out her pouch and never reached her goal. I'm not sure why she had it done.

I'm planning on eating foods to keep my at a healthy weight.

I agree. And my head hunger has been powerful lately. My stomach is satisfied but my head isn't.

      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.
