Hi all!

I'm playing D&D tonight and fighting temptation from pizza, donuts, Munchies, and alcohol. It will be a little easier tonight because I'm still on liquids, but it's still hard to be around the familiar smells.

I packed Water flavor drops, a diet Snapple, and a chocolate Fairlife Protein milk for the night. I am trying to do my best, but this is my first challenge. I would appreciate your words of encouragement, as D&D is where I made my worst choices.

Thank you! Xx

Thanks! The garlic bread smells so good... I'm at 75 oz of Protein for the night and I know I'm not hungry, but the food smells are so attractive! I'm sucking on some flake salt crystals to get my munchie fix.

I appreciate having this online space to share my struggles!

Dungeons and Dragons...great "nerd" fun.

@@milpreve, this is where you start making your transition. You don't have to be that person you were. And you have a great tool to help you make the switch.

Be careful with that Fairlife chocolate Protein milk - it's got a not insignificant amount of sugar in it and can upset your new tummy!

Thanks all! I survived and had fun. Next month will be "transitional" purées to regular food. I'll just pack dinner again and hope it fills me up!

D&D is up to 5th edition, and it's really good. It throws back to AD&D and 2nd edition in feel, but retains the better parts of 3.5 and 4e. I've been playing tabletop since I was 17, before that I played Baldur's Gate with my mom on the computer. I've been with my group for 10 years now!

Wow, I played D+D back in the 70's and 80's! Sooooo much fun, and yes, we pigged out on Snacks then, too. LOL Good for you for being prepared!

      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.
