That I said correct. Some people's hunger hormone returns, some people's don't. Mine could come back, but it hasn't yet. I'm taking full advantage of that.

My hunger has been only emotion driven. Actual hunger is basically gone. I don’t get actually hungry for like ten hours.

Time for an update! I know many people don’t eat Pasta but here is my meal prep of chicken, Tomato pesto, spinach, fresh parsley in a garlic butter sauce. I got 15 servings out of it and it goes in the freezer portioned out so I can just grab one and go whenever.

I got my Protein chips and bars from bariatricpal today. The chips are super great and I also had the almonds today which are so filling. I wish they didn’t cost quite this much! I’m out of my shakes, waiting for them in the mail. I will be getting on the scale tomorrow, my batteries for the scale finally came in. I have personal training tomorrow, I’m doing well with that. I’m losing about 2.7lbs a week but I should be losing about 3. I eat a little more calories that I should. I’m also having a lot of carbs. No sugar but a decent amount of carbs in addition to my Protein. So, that’s my update.

Just remember how much weight that is. Pick up a lb of butter and you are losing almost 3 of those a week!

      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.
