Trust me this is usually the hardest part of the process. Once you get through this it will be much easier.

yeah, the liquid diet is the hardest bit of this I think. I only had liquid diet for 3 days pre-op, but that was bad enough.

Now I am on liquid diet post op, but it isn't as hard as I am not as hungry.

So if you can get through that liquid diet, you will be fine!

Surgery is May 30th.... this liquid diet is killing me...I never thought i would be this hard...all I think about is food even though I'm not even hungry...

I wish i can just sleep u till surgery

My surgery is May 31st.... And this pre op diet is so hard ... I just want cry sometimes. I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off food. This will be a hard weekend since its a holiday and we are going to parties Sat and Sun. I too wish I could sleep till surgery. Great idea!

I slept a lot and just stayed hydrated. The first 4 days was soooooo hard and when I thought I couldn't do it any longer I reminded myself constantly I am doin this for a reason.

Add spices to broth makes it more tolerable.

      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.
