It is tempting, isn't it? The only way I manage is to not keep any attractive food in the house. I have stuff for meals, but nothing yummy to snack on. I get my treats in one-serving portions, like a single ice cream cone or one cookie from the bakery. I don't bring home a half gallon of ice cream or a package of Cookies. I know I'm still an out of control eater underneath it all, and I just would eat it all if it were around.

Yep good idea, i have already swapped to portioned servings, even though more expensive, but like the other night went through a few portioned servings - ahh.

Oh yeah, I would do that--eat several packs. So I didn't mean buying treats packaged in one serving portions, but buying one portion of treats--a single candy bar, rather than a bag of candies. One cookie, rather than a box. I can't depend on myself to say no, once it's there and the craving hits, so I have to be sure it's not there.

      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.
