Well I found a lot of time if I'm hungry I noticed I need to drink Water. Sometimes I have to set a timer to remind me to drink, every 15 minutes. I know I'm further along than you. I did have 1 egg like before 2nd week was over but took like an hour to eat it 🤦🏼‍♀️ The next time when I had seen Zare I had egg with cheese 🤭 and it was good, but still took forever to eat it. Everyone is so different.

Dr Zare put me on shots that was the hardest thing and oh god the med he has me on for gallstones I hate it.

Sorry, somehow didn't see this notification til now. Weird!

Talked to Zare for my 2 wk check up today via phone due to the virus, even though Monday is technically 2wks. Took total of 3 mins since I"m so lucky thinks have been going well.

I blended up some cooked mushrooms last night to add to my chicken bullion and was in heaven! And today had a little bit of bolognese with my lunch Tomato Soup So far so good, but won't push it beyond that. Just felt so weak after walking workout.

You're totally right, the hunger seems to be related to Water intake, so pushing that as much as I can. I'm having trouble w/the daily Vitamin mix they gave. It seems to activate my asthma a little which in the early days was a big deal since the coughing killed, but now the incisions are almost healed. I'll probably switch to some other version, although it does force me to drink more water.

So sorry to hear about the shots! Haven't heard about those before, but sound miserable! I start the gallstone meds on Monday (eek.)

Well, hope you and yours are staying healthy through all this & thanks for the encouragement!

      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.
