What can I say?

This has been a very long process of adjustment.

And I wasn't as prepared as I should have been I thought it was going to be a painless and easy process. Boy oh boy was I wrong. The pain is just now starting to ease up and trying to eat on a schedule is really hard. Especially when I would rather drink gatorade. So I have to give it up all together just so I would eat. And finding Protein that I can tolerate is even worse..

Everyone else sees the changes but I don't see them as of yet. I only can feel the difference. I was able to fit into my daughter's coat which is a large and it zipped all the way up, from mines with has always been a 2 or 3x for as long as I could remember.

      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.
