I am 2 years out from surgery and can say its a BEAR at times still now, not hungry per-say, but my old fat girl mind is telling me oh yea those smell good your hungry, or well its the only thing within reach and you need to eat regardless if its healthy or not. My best advice is what I too (2 years out) still have to remind myself of and plan for - Keep a bottle of Water with you at all times, a premixed low cal high Protein shake (I prefer Premier Protein premixed shakes for on the go) and cut up celery/cucumbers for when you just MUST CRUNCH!

What ever you do DO NOT GIVE IN! I made that mistake stalled my weight loss and put 20 back on! Hold strong my friend you CAN DO IT!

For right now I keep telling myself that if I give into those cravings I will really hurt myself and my surgeon will have to open me back up. It kills the cravings pretty fast. :)

I'll be honest though, I've had a mad pizza craving for 2 weeks.

      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.
