Yes.. Agree with Carolina, the new crystal lights are really good. The chicken broth is what fills me up the most, plus it's not sweet, getting tired of everything being sweet! I'm on day 4... Having surgery on the 29th. Funny thing is that last night I was so hungry and frustrated, woke up today, not hungry, no cravings.. Like magic overnight it got so much easier. So hang in there, it gets easier! Good luck, keep us posted!

Tomato Soup and non fruited yogurt saved my life before and after surgery's liquid diet times.

Breakfast...cream of wheat or grits with milk helped me start the day.

I remember those days....hang in there it will pay off. A smaller/shrinking liver means an easier op for the surgeon and you.

You will get to the point when you no longer crave sugar, can't say the same about salt. Would die for a bag of chips; however not an option for me. Good Luck.......................

I'm the say way bama,I haven't told anyone but my close family. I was so excited when I started the process but now that I got approved and date for surgery I'm second guessing my decision not real sure why, just worried about something going wrong I guess. But I no I have to do something because regular dieting wasn't working and now I'm at my heaviest at 320 and not getting any younger

      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.
