well, I feel i am eating all the right foods, however, i do feel like i can eat more than one might expect after weight loss surg. I am excersizing, maybe it's the portion size. but I am hungry, and why is this happening now I was on a good role until 4 weeks ago.

I don't drink with my meals.

Band, do you want to meet for coffee Monday or Tuesday this week? Do you work during the day? We could meet after work. I am also available in the late afternoon. Linda would possibly come and we can get her pumped up for her surgery. Linda, we promise, no complaining.

Tues, would be good for me, maybe later in the day cause I have Hoffman at 1:30 and then have to drop a friend off at home. Call me and we will set something up.

      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.
