You can do it!At first you will love the smell of all the foods.By the 2nd week you will be grossed out with the smell of foods!I admit it is hard the first few days but then it gets better and you will lose a lot of weight also.Good luck!

No worries, I was the same as you!! Decided I was going to have a food funeral.....say goodbye to all the wonderful foods (that made me FAT) that I would never eat again. I may have even shed a few tears! It turned out I was too nervous to have the funeral. Now...I have no interest in any of it and I only had surgery on Friday.

You CAN do this. You are already on the right path. It won't be easy, the first few days of the pre-op diet your tummy will growl like a bear waking up from hibernation. Stay strong and remember why you are on this journey. When you feel you are having a weak moment, turn to the lovely folks on this forum. They are wonderful, supportive, informative, and will help you stay on task.

How exciting this all is!!

      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.
