Sullie06, what kind of Snacks do you eat throughout the day?

I talked to my surgeon about always being hungry, and he said I'm not taking in enough Protein, so I've been making sure I get plenty of protein. If I do get hungry then I eat something high in protein. I did buy some of the high protein Snacks from the Bariatric store, and that helps too. What's weird is that lately I just haven't even been able to finish a yogurt or my jello(have to put my antacid broken up in the jello), and it's getting difficult again to get in two Protein Shakes a day. I just seem to get full before I finish one. Also makes it hard to get in my Water intake doing the 30/30 rule. How do most people on here eat and drink their water throughout the day? Do y'all try to have set meals, and when it's not mealtime you are drinking water, or what? I'm just starting phase 3. Thanks!

I'm 3 weeks out and I totally am hungry. It's not "head hunger" either. It's real. But, it's not like pre-op. It's easier to curb just by drinking something. I haven't gotten into many foods yet but I suppose once you are eating solids it should help some because there are more choices. I've been eating a lot of SF stuff but I am so torn because I don't want to be eating all the artificial sugar crap. I try to buy things with stevia or Monk Fruit but it's limited. It's frustrating.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
