Was it hard? Did u go through withdrawal from food? How much did u loose?

A lot of questions, sorry, but I haven't gotten that far yet and I'm wondering how people cope?

Yes it has been a struggle for me and yes withdrawals of course! I'm sure I have lost weight , but I won't know how much til the day of surgery because I don't have a scale! No problem with the questions you can feel free to ask me anything! The worst thing for me though was the headaches I had for the first few days! They were horrible! Not as bad as a Migraine but it was a make you wanna just squeeze your head to get it to stop hurting! More than likely from the lack of sugar I am used too! But you can do it! Believe me if I can u can!

Do u think the withdrawal would have been easier if u would have ate a little healthier before the liquid diet? Like cutting out the the sugar and eating smaller portions?

I am very antsy! My surgery is Wednesday and it can't get here soon enough. I have lost 10.5 lbs on th epreop diet. I started a week early to allow for any slip-ups I might have in the beginning. After the first 3 days it was easy. I wasn't starving anymore and the headaches went away.

Yes I had been trying to do a low cal no bread diet before and it probably would have been way worse if I hadn't? Good luck on your surgery Wednesday! Keep me 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.
