I didn't think of that before! My parents were always working so 'fun' times for us would be late when my mama came home and she would make us Desserts to make up for them never being there for dinner! We bonded while making Cookies or mini pizzas out of English muffins. food is definitely comfort. Look on groupon.com for big vacations but sometimes all you need can be as simple as renting a cabin for the weekend and exploring the area, we did that once and found a put put golf place and spend a lot of time outside at the cabin, it was one of our best family vacations and it didn't break the bank.

I'm 5 days post op and just starting to feel hungry which is kind of freaking me out. I have had 72g Protein and 41g carbs = 522 calories (2 Protein Shakes and 1 Greek yogurt) I'm sipping crystal light thinking it is head hunger but it doesn't feel like it. Did your hunger go away? I'm scared that my sleeve isn't working.

How much are you able to consume at one time?

Is it possible you are mistaking pain or air bubbles for hunger?

If I had consumed even half of that at 5 days out I would have been stuffed. Are you hungry for food, or in general?

      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.
