I am on liquid diet. Today is one week from the date I stared on this weight loss voyage. Hopefully everything will be alright. Still little scared.

you arent on your own. i think everyone of us here have been a little scared. I know i still have my moments when i think..'' what have i done?''... you will be o.k. though. just take a day at a time. worrying about tomorrow isnt goign to change anything, so just concentrate on the moment now. being on liquids is very demanding.. ive been on them now for five days. actually its gross. i have to stop and think about all the wonderful benefits im goingto get out of this. The fact that ive lost so much Fluid and puffyness from my lower legs and feet , plus losing pain, has been a real stimulus for me though. i hope that it gets better for you. when it feels overwhelming, just get online and post. It will all be worth it in the long run. :)

I really like the motto "One day at a time!" I can do pretty much anything for one day and that will be my focus. Today!

Keep us posted,

      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.
