Good luck! You're embarking on the hardest part of this journey! :) It will be over in a hurry, though. You can do ANYTHING for 14 days, right?! :)

You've come to this point because you feel that you need to act to protect your health. This is a long term commitment to yourself. Chances are that you will not experience the severe difficulty you anticipate. It won't be a walk in the park but you will find that your hunger will abate to some degree. I used to practice fasting, nothing but Water for days on end. By the second day hunger was hardly an issue. You'll do fine.

Hello,

I am just into my 2nd week of the liquid diet. My surgery is one week from today. The hardest part is actually seeing food in front me. I am not hungry really. I am amazed at how well the protien shakes fill me up. I had to go to a bridal shower on Sunday. That was tough. I also work in a large office and they have had food put out every day since I started. I am being tested hehe. That being said, the time is going pretty fast. Im scared to death to have the surgery but I am ready to go.

      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.
