Day 1 of my 2 week full liquid diet. Wish me luck that the next 13 days are this easy! First day wasnt so bad. I have an awful headache though that I think is related to a soda withdrawl.

You can do it!! I'm on day 5 of 14. It's hard. I have found some "instant flavor coffee" to add to vanilla shakes and it helped a lot! Cruise the posts here and you will find "concoctions" to add things.... They really help.

Hang in there... headaches can be caffeine withdrawal or dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough hydrating fluids with your Protein.< /p>

By the 3rd day I was better. Started pre-op 7/12 and down close to 30 lbs. I was a total carb/soda freak. Hang in there!

It is not just caffeine it is a double whammy with carb withdrawl as well. Whenever I would go on Atkins I would suffer with the no carb headache. Keep hydrated and hang in there it will get better.

      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.
