Hang in there, you're doing great! Is your liquid diet low carb? That might help a bit if you went into ketosis, which suppresses the appetite. In a few days, you'll be sleeved and your appetite will be completely gone! Good luck!

I can totally relate -- I was on the all liquid diet for 2 weeks. It was very difficult at times. A couple of things that helped me through -- I made some sugar free Jello and kept it at the ready. It is almost like real food! Also, DRINK all the time. I kept a cup of hot tea, or bouillion, or Crystal Light with me at all times. Drink drink drink. Your stomach won't feel as empty.

If you are going to completely go off of the rails, then drink an extra Protein shake that day. It won't hurt the diet and the Protein is very satisfying. You can do this! It is better for your surgery and also I think that it really helped with my recovery.

You are almost there! smile.gif

      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.
