Good luck! I'm scheduled for Jan. 17. Today was the first day of my liquid diet and it was easy until dinner when I caved and had chicken noodle Soup and crackers which I don't think is bad considering my old habits. Tommorrow is another day!

3 weeks. I'm not sure why...maybe because I have so much weight to lose? Thanks! I'll keep you posted :)

Day one of the liquid diet and I'm starving, but I can't bring myself to drink another shake today. Hopefully this gets easier.

I'd be starving too Steph! But I'm sure it will get easier as it goes by! Can you suck on anything to curve the appetite? Like a life saver maybe? I don't start my liquid until next week. Keep us posted and we'll keep up the encouragement!!!

Steph it does get easier I'm a week into mine, the first couple of days are rough but it gets better. Hardest part for me was christmas and not being able to really enjoy it. But I know that this is what I have to do to reach my ultimate goal. Good luck to all the jan. banders.

Day 2 & 3 were easier during the day but I still had Soup and crackers for dinner. I don't know what it is about 6pm but the thought of having another Protein Shake disgusts me at that hour. I don't eat anything after dinner...maybe just have some tea. So I'll try again tomorrow :) I just went grocery shopping and got all kinds of things to make all sorts of recipes I've found online. If there's anything that's really good, I'll let you know!!!

      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.
