I do have issues with feeling hungry. I am usually hungry 2 to 3 hrs after I have eaten. Someone on a previous post said its just acid. I am on Prilosec too. It sure feels like hunger to me.

The big thing is to find a Protein Powder you like. The only one I can stand is Isopure. As much as I liked it before- I am already sick of Protein Shakes and I have only been on them 3 days. Make sure all the liquids and broth and Jello are purchased before surgery. I bought 1 oz tupperware containers on Amazon in order to take my lunch to work. Your Dr should give you all your prescriptions at your pre-op appt so they can be filled and ready. One thing I didn't think of was sleeping. One of my muscles was so bruised that laying down in bed was painful. So here I am in the recliner!

"Did you ever meet an obese vegetarian and wonder ‘HUH?’… how’d they get obese if they are vegetarian? Same deal… its not the vegetables, its the other stuff… the carbs… the potatoes, bread, macaroni, rice, tortillas and sugar!" Quote from ProjectMe.
I don't know who originally wrote this but vegetarians eat carbs and potatoes and bread and Pasta and sugar. What they don't eat is meat.
Listen to your dietitian. They know what they are talking about

June 3rd for me. I had my pre-op today and it hit me how close it is. a little panic ran through me--I was thinking, 'holy cow are they really going to remove part of my stomach? Man that must hurt!'
