Liza. I am on the two Meal Replacement diet, and I cheated too!!! Almost everyone I have spoken to has cheated! I am at my moms, and she's in the kitchen cooking bacon and homemade muffins! I want some so bad but I'm not going to do it! I may have an egg though, and skip my cottage cheese and fruit! Its harder than I thought!!! And I thought I was really prepared and psyched up to do this! Its hard to change over night ya know! Don't beat yourself up, just start over and keep on going! Won't be long now!! My surgery is July 10th! So ready!!!

Hello Laura, I am on day 3 pre op and I have not cheated yet. It has been rough. I started drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast only about a week before my pre op actually started in hopes that things would be easier (wrong). I will survive!!! Good luck to you, I get sleeved on July 9th.

I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet. 4-5 meal replacement shakes/day. and 64 oz of Water, broth or Jello. It's hard! And I've been sluggish. Hoping it gets better and that I feel better. Very low energy.

i'm using Bariatric Advantage, and doctor said I could mix it with skim milk or FF soy milk. It helps!

I was on 3 shakes a day and sf Jello or popsicles and I did not cheat. Use the time wisely to keep busy, clean out your closets, prepare for surgery, up your Water intake, take walks. Day 3 & 4 were hard. If you used to be a pop or coffee drinker, many of your issues may be caffeine withdrawal.

If you cheat you are only cheating yourself and since you are going into such a major life-altering surgery try finishing this time out giving 100% dedication.

It's not easy, but nobody said it would be. Have faith in yourself that you can do it and go into this the best you can. If you cheat, dust it off and then realize you need to put in 100% effort.

You 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.
