At the end of day 9 of liquid diet. Surgery on the 28th. Someone tell me it gets better after the surgery. This liquid diet is killing me.

It does eventually. You will be on liquids probably another week or two after surgery, but it probably won't bother you as much because you're not going to be as hungry. I was thrilled when I got to the mushy stage - it was nice to chew again. Good luck, you can do it!

It gets easier after surgery because you don't feel hungry. I'm amazed at the lack of hunger - although I will have some hunger like feelings but I have acid reflux.

My surgery is on the 28th too and this diet is rough. I think we will make it a few more days! Kinda wish it was just a 7 day diet instead!! Lol

Hang on :)

Here's what I would like to say. Yes it does get better, but in my opinion and experience, this is the hardest part for you. Once you have the surgery, you will not feel hungry and more than likely you'll have to force yourself in remembering to drink liquids! I know if it wasn't for my wife getting on to me about it (she was sleeved a little over a month ago) I probably would not realize I need to drink anything.

I know seven days is a ways off to be on a liquid diet (with your surgery date of the 28th), but those things we want, those things we know we need comes with hard work and dedication. Your hard work and dedication with this diet will pay off for you in so many ways!

Stick with it. I know you can do this!

I feel your pain, my surgery is on the 29th. I am actually excited to be on the mushy phase. I have never been so tired of drinking in all my life. I feel like I am a float. Our countdown continues for a few more days. We can do it.

      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.
