Thanks for that! It's actually what i really needed to hear right now. My surgery isn't scheduled until January, so I'm trying to lose what I can now. I've got to overcome this head hunger thing.... I can do this! I'm a warrior, too!

Thank you so much! It was a little nerve-racking at first but the opinions of others are that of people who don’t truly understand the process. Knowledge is power!! [emoji5]

Congrats on your January date....and the head hunger was the first step of the mental preparation that we will continue to need. Every time I looked at a plate one of my family members had, I just stopped to remind myself that we didn’t get this far for nothing. You got this and I’m happy for you! Sending blessings and prayers in advance!! #WARRIOR

      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.
