I can hardley believe I made it through day 3. I heard that this was the hardest day. This was a piece of cake compared to day 1. The Protein Shakes I was drinking were making me very sick. I had diareaha all day and was weak like no other.

I found it really strange that I am able to fast for a week and never have any hunger pains but day one I was so sick.

Anyway, I realized today that my surgery is next Monday so I'm super excited. I'm so ready to be on the other side of the surgery.

Hope if you are on the liquid diet that you are doing good. Tell me what you are doing to get through. What are you drinking? Are you getting all your Protein in?(Im struggling) Have you kept up with the 64 oz of Water? What protein shakes are you using?

you sound good, following the docs rules. sorry the shakes taste bad, I still love mine. I use Jay Robb, with my soy milk I get 32 grams of Protein. I buy it at the Vitamin Shoppe. It costs a little more but soooo tasty!

you will make it through this 1st struggle and be so ready for your band!

I have several different shakes and I tried one tonight that I really like. I got it at whole foods. It tasted fairly good. I tried the dark chocolate one and I don't like dark chocolate but it was good. It was only a individual one so I will need to go get some more.

Glad your enjoying your shakes. Looks like you are doing great bmi from 43 to 30 that is awesome.

      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.
