Agreed! Just put my ham in the oven. But seeing as I'm on my preop liquid diet I won't be having any!! Happy Easter :)

Omg. I can't even take the smell. I'm day 5 on the liquid diet for the op tomorrow along with having to take the magnesium citrate. I was fine until the fam started cooking. Now I'm just locked in my room but everytime I run to the bathroom I smell ham in the hallway. Lol What a nightmare! 16 hours and counting. Ugh

I'm 17 days postop and having a rough time keeping things down. We're skipping our usual holiday gathering because I'm sure being around food will make me nauseous!

I had no idea there was such a thing as "Easter holy food."

Hallowed ham? Holy chocolate bunnies? Deviled eggs (but with a name like that, maybe not)?

I promise it will get better. I was you at Christmas time. I was sleeved 12/14/15 and couldn't have solids yet. Made a full turkey dinner for my family but ate yogurt for Christmas dinner.! I actually enjoyed my Easter dinner today, in very very small portions. Next holiday you will too! It will be different, portions are smaller and sweets will probably be avoided. With 2 small children I have a house full of candy but with sleeve power I haven't ate it!

@@ocgirl15, thank you for your kind reply. I'm certain things will get better, and the funny thing about holidays has always been that I'm so busy cooking that I do very little eating. I do always enjoy a deviled egg or two on Easter, though.

Deviled eggs are a great choice for bariatric patients! You won't have wait till next Easter either!

Yeah, I think I can look forward to a deviled egg before I can a bite of ham!

One of my favorites at Thanksgiving is a bite of ham with a bite of turkey, same fork. Something to look forward to!

I'm waiting approval from my insurance but so stinking ready. I ate too much again but kinda used the excuse that it was last big holiday to splurge. Exactly why I'm getting this done. Too many excuses!

      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.
