I have not been much of a TV watcher, but being on leave from surgery I am watching much more. Holy crap, COULD THERE BE ANY MORE food COMMERCIALS ON TV! It's maddening for head hunger. I want everything on the tv, even stuff I know I would never eat. I might have to resort to Netflix or streaming on demand.

rant over now, lol

oh my gosh its the worst ever! I remember when I was just a week out from surgery, still on the liquid/soft diet and I went to the gas station to fill my car. On the billboard was a picture of this nasty gas station cheeseburger and I would have eaten that damn cardboard sign if my husband would have let me! Holy cow, head hunger is real and a HORRIBLE thing! lol

Good luck!!!! :)

I don't watch the commercials. Somehow I just block them out and don't pay attention.

Ha-- I'm so glad I'm not alone! I started madly wanted Taco Bell when I saw commercials for it and I normally HATE Taco Bell.

My husband was amused.

And, yes, Netflix was a good way to go. I would say books, but the people in my books keep having feasts and then I get mad at them, too :-)

      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.
