Ok, a bit of an exaggeration I know but it sure feels like it sometimes. I was just banded on Monday 11/08/10 and am in the clear liquid phase of my post op diet until 11/15/10:frown:

Then it is on to two weeks of full liquids until 11/29/10:mad:

I thought I could do this but I am having my doubts. If I see one more cup of broth:eek:

You can do it, one guy was on clearn liquids for 21 days prior and two weeks after. Just remember that this will soon be a memory. It is the mental part that is the hardest.

I understand you to the fullest. I am feeling the same way...so when my mom made chili, I ate some of the juice off of it. It was good but now my stomach feels weird. I am on a liquid diet with 5 prtein shakes a day and 64 ozs of water...Only been able to get down 1 whole shake and 2 bottles of Water so far but hopefully that will change...we can do it. We went this far might as well keep on going.

BandedDude - you can do this! It is the hardest part of the journey. But the end result is so worth it! Looking back, it's hard to imagine I had the mental willpower to do it, but I did because I wanted it so much. Keep your focus on the long term while you are in the liquid/mushie/soft food stage. Then you can start to make short term goals that are attainable.

And GOOD LUCK! The best advice I can give you is to keep busy and distract yourself. It does help!

I know broth stinks I'm on my 2 week pre-op my doctor today said to buy cup-a-soup or chicken noodle and strain it then at least you have more flavor. Even beef flavor if I wanted. I know it not a huge help but it might give you more flavor.

      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.
