After thinking about it, I am not sure my body knows if it is head hunger or real hunger, because I have always just gratified whichever one by eating. Maybe during this liquid stage I will begin to be able to separate this out.

Day 2 for me. Wasn't hungry at all esterday except for wants a little but not bad. I was probably still full from eating like a maniac beforehand. I think the anticipation was worse than actually doing it. I have a headache I woke up with that I'm sure is caffeine withdrawal...

Day 3 of the hunger games,LOL

Finally!!! NO caffiene hangover, thank goodness.

I miss my coffee, but I will just go with Decaf for a bit. I had the best, best split pea Soup for dinner, OMG!! Plus my little spinach salad on the side. Tons of propel grape, yum. I still have to have one more Protein shake!! It does get better. I went to Vons and didn't have a melt down! Hang in there!! It's gonna be so worth it

@hellonurse:

Split pea Soup & spinach salad! I'm so jealous!! All I'm allowed are Protein shakes and clear liquids! Crazy how doctors are so different. Good job. Sounds like you're conquering the diet!

Today is day 3 for me. I haven't weighed myself yet. On day 1 (before actually dieting) I weighed 257. On day 2 I was 250.5. Can't wait to see if maybe I'm in the 240's by today and maybe even the 230's by the time I go to the hospital next Friday for surgery.

Thanks for all the updates, everyone. They really help me stay focused.

I'm sorry! It is strange how all Doctors are not using the same protocol. I went to my pre op class yesterday, his idea of a sensible meal was alot of good food!! I was only doing my 3 shakes and then one puny little spinach salad with a bites of chix in it. That's why I had a small little bowl of split pea. Wow, you have lost major pounds!!! Way to go

I weighed myself this morning, I was down to 216! The day after Easter(Easter being the last supper) my kids telling me"eat this Mommy" I weighed in at 226, I was not a happy camper.

I want to atleast weigh 210 by the 24th!!

Keep us posted on your weigh in, seeing everyone elses progress inspires me!!!

Day 3 for me. Had to go into the office when I usually work from home. Thank goodness I took a double Protein Drink because I was there a lot longer than I thought I would be. They want us to have Unjury chicken Soup for dinner, and I hate it. Need to have another Protein drink yet, and a cup of Tomato or V8 juice....c'mon and get here 4/23!!

      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.
