I’m bored. I’m having moments of extreme hunger. Have three kids at home I cook for. I wanted chicken nuggets so badly yesterday but I’m having talks with myself and keeping full withh Protein Shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, and Soups. Boring but looking at the big picture. Tried eggs a couple days ago and they came back up. Hoping to try again this week. I am waiting to see a big change in my shape and notice weight loss-as are the people around me I’m sure. I just have to remember it’s a process. Some people loose really quickly others more slowly. I have to up my exercise game as soon as my soreness eases up a little bit.

Hey Tyson has some, chicken nugget sized but no evil breading just tastes like grilled chicken breast. Runs about $7 a bag but it's a pretty good size.

feeling super exhausted although today i don't feel as tired as last two days....but boy could I stay in bed late, lol. I think i feel a little better each day. I stopped taking the tylenol w/ codeine my surgeon prescribed for pain, it was so nasty going down and I only used it to sleep, so I'm 2 days off that. I drove yesterday for the first time, felt good to get out. Tomorrow is my day 7 post diet, and i'm thinking of bumping up next diet phase by one day....what the heck right? IDK yet. sleeping and rolling over on occasion i feel a tightness, but nothing more.

I know exactly how u feel. I stopped my pain meds on Wednesday night they just made me feel tired. What foods are you thinking for this week?

My 17 yr old daughter is your surgery day buddy! She has recovered quickly but I'm concerned that shes not getting enough nutrition. She takes her medicine with a sip or two of Water in the morning and is full for hours. I try to sneak unflavored Protein into her Soup and she instantly knows lol. I hoping we can find something nutritious that she will actually eat. So far Syntrax Nectar is saving the day!

      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.
