It's hard this diet I cheated my first day. Today is day 3 and I felt like I was going to throw up and I had a headache. I want a cheeseburger so bad but I willed myself to stay in the house and not eat.

It will get better. I'm on day 4. I cheated today, but it was a Healthy Choice Soup. Had I not given myself time to get adjusted to the diet and detox from my horrible relationship with food, I'm pretty sure my "cheat" would have been a bowl of buffalo wings, a pizza or probably both. My first day was THE worst.

Good luck and keep in touch if you need support. Is your surgery scheduled for the 24th?

My diet is all liquids too for 14 days. 3 Protein Shakes, SF Jello, SF popcycles, and broth. On day 7 now. It does get easier. Just make sure you drink plenty of water!

Oh my goodness. No wonder there's cheating. I'm on high Protein diet. So I can eat chicken, fish, turkey and unlimited veggies. No sugar, fat, dairy etc.

My pre-op and post-op diet are just about the same for the first two days post-op. I can have a shake twice a day and light Soup plus a snake of SF pudding as an example. I think there are so many different diets because of what the doctors think is best and what your physical condition is going in. I weighed this morning and I've lost 10 pounds since starting the pre-op.

Wish me luck my surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30. My mom is coming to pick me up at 5:30 AM.

Yes it is I can have 3 Meal Replacement shakes low fat/light soup non fat no sugar added yogurt Jello (which I hate) it's broken down into 6 small meals. It's a big change from a meat starch and veggie meal 3 times a day

I had my surgery Thursday and I have barely eaten since. I need suggestions on this liquid post op diet. I barely eat or drink anything I just can't make myself. I've lost 8 pounds since Thursday.

This pre-op diet is making me go to the bathroom a lot not to be gross. Anyone else experience this?

It did me that way the first week. I have four more days to go and it hasn't been so bad now.

      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.
