Yum, I love cheeseburgers. Can't eat a whole one anymore and seldom try, but $1 McD's double cheeseburgers were my comfort food.

You're probably in the liquid only phase so drink some Protein powder mixed with milk? Some Tomato Soup might work too? Are those on your plan at this time??

So here is a question, i did the Little medical shot cups religiously for the first day. Then found that I could do more sips and just measure the quantity that I'm drinking. I made both goals of 42 and 56. Will easily do 64 today. Not really having any issues with this. Is that normal? A large fuss was made about these goals before I was released. So like I said is this normal?

Just look at the big goal of being healthier and looking awesome. Try to be busy with journaling and reflecting on this experience...mindful eating. Make sure you are getting plenty of liquid Protein. Keep head in the game you will truly be successful!

      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.
