You. Can. Do. It. Lol. I'm day 7 and just starting to feel somewhat normal. I am not at all hungry but am back cooking for my fam. Wow! Tougher than I thought. I wanna nibble but have been good fighting it. We can do this. Right now solid food can hurt us... that's what I try to remember.

I find when I'm cleaning my house, doing laundry etc I can go all day and not even think about food because I'm busy. Until I either get light headed and think oh I haven't eaten today. Maybe find something to occupy your mind.

Hey,

Don't be down. It gets better. I don't regret it any more. The first month is very hard. Once you get over the hump you will feel great. I am very happy now. You will too. I promise! Sending you hugs bc i know it's hard but you WILL overcome this!

30 days in and 40 pounds down (including the pre-op week)
Love it ! Have had some hard days but have always drank my 60-100 oz of Water.
Try Labrada shakes. 17 oz and 40g Protein. Fills me up and kills hunger. Might take an hour to finish. It does not leave me with the sour milk tastes some others have.
Hard at times but best thing I've ever done.

      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.
