So I am almost 8 weeks post op and have been doing great! I’ve lost 36 pounds and I exercise at least 6 days a week and eat mostly Protein and try to eat less than 30 carbs a day. But today has been rough. All I want is Cereal. Like fruity pebbles cereal. And I’ve been hungry today like no other!!!!! And because of all this I feel big and like I’m sabotaging my hard work! I would even eat the fruity pebbles in almond milk if it would help!
I guess I am just looking for reassurance from my sleeve family that I’m just have one of those days and it too shall pass 😔

I heard a rumor that GNC has a Protein Powder that tastes like Fruity Peebles, either one of the Ghost brand blends or another proprietary brand,it was even a sample size! I saw it when I was there last chatting with the rep at the counter.

My point is find a way to make this work and don't eat that evil @$$ cereal.

Hope this helps!

Oh Chugging🚝 right along. Tomorrow I start my prediet for,my September 5th RnY, we will find out if the statement " What does not kill me can only strengthen me: holds any credence. But I do want a smooth surgery that helps Ser me on my way toward a better life. It has to be an improvement from sitting obese and in pain , waiting daily for the Death Angel to claim me as his Own. That is a SAD way to have to exist and now I have hope that no longer will be my fate. So some tears💦so n e sorrow but there will be 🌞Sunlight ahead!

I had a day like that on Saturday. There were just a lot of personal issues that were happening, and I wanted food! I did eat more carbs than normal on that day. I was with my sister and her family, and we ordered Mexican. I got chicken with rice and queso. I ate mostly chicken and just a bite or two of rice, but then I came back and ate more later and ate the rest of my chicken with more rice. I also had a couple pieces of chocolate. But, hey, I tracked every bite, and I still lost 4 pounds this week. You're not always going to be perfect, and yes, it will pass!

      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.
