Thanks! I had mine april 26th so i'm just over 4 weeks out. Dr. Cahill is a great surgeon and in his program, you have 2 weeks of clear then 4 weeks of Protein Shakes before starting blended Soups, yogurt, etc. So there are days that i'm absolutely sick of the shakes and I've resorted back to chicken broth for something savory. I totally agree that it's HARD!!!!! :wacko:

Wow, I had mine may 24th. And im on a one week liquid diet, then 2 weeks full liquid, so I'm really missing my shakes right now. But when I get on the scale every morning, it's worth it. But it's hard when every one around you is eating whatever they want, but I just have to be strong. But I'm kinda relieved that I'm not the only one having problems with this liquid diet. I was starting to feel like a baby. 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.
