You just told my story.......I start my liquid diet today and I am very nervous. My job leaves me by myself a lot and I am a bored, nervous, and depressed eater. I have packed my luchbox and have decied to leave all cash and debit cards at home so I am not tempted to buy anything today. Being addicted to food has made me miserable and I hate that I feel like I have no control. I always have the thought of just one more, or I'll stop tomorrow. This is it, im taking my life back!!!! Good luck and hope to talk soon.

This is day 8 for me on the pre-op diet... and I want to reinforce to you that it WILL get easier. If I can do it, anyone can. I will not lie - the first 5-6 days were some of the hardest days I've ever had... but the cravings do reduce. Just make sure you drink enough Water (i have herbal tea a couple of times a day when I don't feel like plain water) as I can tell that I feel very tired if I haven't had enough liquids.

It is so helpful to come and read (or post) on this site when you are feeling like you can't do it - helped me several times. Hang in there, you'll do great :)

I start my liquid diet on the 10th and I have my surgery on the 24

I also start liquid diet on the 10th and surgery on the 24th. I have mixed feelings about the liquid diet. I want so bad to get it started because I know it is getting me closer to the date, but I'm afraid I am going to be a horror to be around. I have been warning everyone that anything I do or say during that time is not me. lol Good luck to you. I hope to stay in touch during our journey.

      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.
