Yeah i know how that feels to knew you cant have them.. (isnt meaning surgery just dieting alone) When i started dieting to lose weight i felt like i was unsuported because my family would bring in cakes, soda and candy and it just became to hard on me... everytime i would diet,.... it was constantly there... But just pull threw ^-^ and hope everything goes well

I am going through the same thing right now. I started my liquid diet yesterday and my family did the same thing to me it was so hard but today was a little easier hoefully it will get better for you too. My surgery is on tuesday and It helps me to think about the surgery and the end result :smile2:

You have to focus on the end result. Put what you are not eating out of your mind of train yourself to think of it as garbage.

I have been on shakes for 18 days and I am not starving and have dropped 15 pounds in that time.

Good luck.

Congrats on your decision! You will find that after about the 4th day, you will stop craving food and your will-power will get a boost each day closer to your surgery. Try for 60 g of Protein a day and treat yourself to a suger-free fudgsicle in the evening or when people are eating the choc chip cookies...I lost 13 pounds during the 2 week pre-op.

      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.
