I know how you are feeling. I am on day 7 of 3 week pre-op on Meditrim and it is tough. However, it does get easier. I would say about day 6 the hunger pains lessen. Keep your eye on the big picture. My thought ia that being on the pre-op diet will prepare your stomach for what's to come and "Bandster Hell" wont be as bad as what some people describe. We are building up our will power now and the weight loss is awesome - huge motivator. I have lost 12 already. Stay strong!

I'm on day 2 of my 7 day liquid diet, this morning I was working on a project, and I was totally fine, not thinking about it, but when I finished in a few hours then I started the whining and complaining and thinking too much about food. I guess just do whatever you can to keep your mind on other things.

      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.
