I dont want to feel left out when everyone is eating fun things lol y surgeons plan for me is not low carb its just a baanced diet, but i knw Protein keeps you full.

I'm two weeks behind you but thought a lot about this too. I went to a party last weekend and no one noticed or said anything about me not eating and just drinking my shakes. That was a relief! I was prepared to say "I'm having some food intolerance issues so I'm doing an elimination diet with the help of my doctor."

In terms of restaurant eating, cup of soup/chili, side of cottage cheese? Can you eat those? Eat slowly and chew. Listen to your body and don't drink any liquids. And if anyone says anything you can tell them the truth or always claim you're just recovered from a stomach bug. No one can argue with that! Best of luck! We can do this!! [emoji173]️

      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.
