I hear ya kimmason! I am on day 4 and I am so hungry! I wish someone would answer this mind-blowing question....How can you feel full off liquids and still have hunger pangs? I am basically trying to sleep away my time before my surgery on friday! I am so proud of myself at this point though. Day 1 was the worst. It has occurred to me that I miss chewing. I wake up in the morning with sore jaws from grinding in my sleep. I know this is all mental, but talk about a reality check. I must admit it has not gotten worse, but I was just wondering if anyone had experienced it.....Feedback?

Kim-

I am on 7 days of liquid pre-op. My menu choices include tea, coffee, gatorade, broths, Jello, skim milk, crystal light, Protein shakes (limit 2/dy), and Water. That is just my LBS's preference. I have already lost 5lbs since last thursday, which is more than the 3lbs over the last 6 wks from the weight loss challenge we have going on my job! Crazy! I have had high blood pressure for the last 6 yrs and with my weight steadily rising it was time to do something about it. Can't wait to get to cream soups!

By the way, I am an x-ray tech...therefore the homer avatar!

During my pre-op, I was on two weeks of "Optifast" shakes and I couldn't bring myself to swallow it without "chewing" every mouthful. :paranoid Strange, I know...but boooy did I ever miss chewing!

I was bitching and moaning about the headaches...I wonder if I might have been grinding at night too. lol

      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.
