It took me about 5 weeks before I had my first feeling of being hungry. Focusing on your proton is the most important thing. Just follow your nutritionist schedule for relearning to eat and you will be found. .

John' date=' it appears many can't just get along.

I did not react differently or say anything in my post than I would not have said in person.

Although I am deemed as judgemental simply because I expressed my opinion, I find it very interesting that many are doing exact that.

In addition to pretzels and chocolate covered raisins I also miss Bojangles Friedha chicken. Having the grilled chicken from the sandwich simply is not the same.

Great advice 3 weeks since surgery I am afraid to do anything I know I don't eat enough advice

What helps me is to keep a log of what I'm eating and since it's tough to eat a lot, find things that are really high in Protein so you get all your Protein but eat less. Like yesterday I had a lobster tail. It's kinda small but had 35g of protein! Hope that helps hon :)

Great advice!! I use an app called "Tap and Track" on my iphone and absolutely love it. I fully expect to be using it (or some app) for the rest of my life. The ability to see where you're at anytime, anywhere is a very powerful tool. I know lots of folks use "My Fitness Pal" and I've never read a bad review. Fish, turkey and chicken are pretty tough to beat when it comes to getting your protein.

I miss burgers, and the funny thing is I didn't really eat them much before the surgery. I have found a wonderful snack full of Protein. Soy Beans in the pod, they come in a little snack size (meal size for post ops) bag you throw in the microwave to steam. After they are done just sprinkle with seasoning of choice and pop em out of the pod! Wonderful texture and taste!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
