I found myself having head hunger. Although I suspect it won't be long till I am actually hungry. Usually gets that way a little later.

Oh the dreaded head hunger. I hope you try to eat something else besides your string cheese?

Oh yes. I like the cottage cheese and might try the egg even though i am not really big on eggs. So far my Soup stayed down.

Mine did too,but I felt full pretty quick. As soon as I started burping I stopped eating. I can see how it would be easy to take one bite too many and feel sick.

Okay, so here's my so-far kitchen. Still have the subway backsplash, cabinet hardware, shiplap ceiling, new light fixture, 3 can lights, crown molding, and new stove to do. Been working on it for two months now. It's at the exciting stage, where it all comes together. It's great to be able to start cooking again.

Very nice @Newme17. You have lots of cabinet space! I need new cabinets. We got new countertops about 5 years ago, but kept the same cabinets because we just couldn't stretch our budget.

So I added some accessories to make it look cuter unfinished. Don't mind my list written on the wall. That's going to be shiplap too. 😊

I had some head hunger early on. I think it was just because I was watching my dh eat and I was only allowed clear fluids. Now that I am able to have shakes and yogurt it hasn't happened again.

Girls... am I the only one that constantly finds herself googling certain foods .. omg I need to stop that.

I keep googling recipes for puréed foods..lol.. and also for ideas on healthy foods to replace my favorites that I really shouldn't eat anymore.

I love crackers and I found a recipe to make cheese crackers with just sliced cheese.

@mishyk I love your profile pic. You are beautiful ☺️

No, I was fine. I think I stopped just in time. No more mindless eating for awhile until we learn the limits of our new stomachs.

I did!!! I actually braved bean and cheese again! Haha. This time I added mushroom broth to the bean to thin it out a bit. I walked around while eating it (seems to help). Once I felt a burp coming on, it was time to stop! I had almost 2 tbsp worth. There was just one tiny bite left, and I knew it wouldn't be good just finish it. So I stopped. This will take some discipline to not finish everything on the plate. I'm pretty good with doing that when it's more than a few bites left, but it was kind of hard seeing one bite left.

      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.
