It is very hard. Everyone that has been through can attest to that. Just try to stay busy and keep only sugar free foods and vegetables in the house. I know with my kids around, the temptation to have junk was too great, so the extra healthy stuff helped. I am having to modify the household diet to get everyone to make better choices. If your going to cheat, at least cheat with something you can have. Try to stay busy and sip sip sip that Water. You CAN do this. Remind yourself of your goal every time you put something in your mouth. Don't beat yourself up if you have a slip. It is hard to break a cycle you have been in your whole life. You did not get the size you are in one day. It'll take some doing, but you got this.

I am on day 5. I feel normal for the first time since I started. I would still love a piece of real food. I put some tabasco in the Tomato Soup and that helped. I am the family cook, so I thought nothing of going to the grocery store for the family today. It was a bad idea.

That's the hardest for me, too. Cooking for them is killing me too. I wonder licking a piece of ham is cheating? LOL

This diet is brutal, but it is the first time I ever lost 12lbs in 5 days. I guess it works.

Ladies! I was in your shows less that 3 weeks ago and let me tell you! I was miserable!!! I even considered cancelling because the pre-op was so dang hard. I survived by adding Mio to my Water and eating SF Jello to trick my brain into thinking I was eating. I even froze it to have "ice cream". No one said this would be easy and how dare the nay-sayers say we took the easy way out! Be proud and be good! It will pay off!!!

I have not tried the frozen SF Jello but my octors office told me today no jello. I was like What??? I can have one small meal a day (turkey, chicken,or fish and a veggie).

      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.
