Agreed! I started Wednesday, which was a few days earlier than I needed to. Yesterday (well it's still my today since I work nights) was rough! I was finally satisfied by some beef broth. I find the warm liquids make me feel more full. Anyone else getting that?

I'm not till Sept 25th. Hate how busy my Dr is that Sept 25 is the earliest open date! I haven't been put on any liquid diets yet but I decided to try a modified one to get me started. Protein Shakes and Water all day and sensible dinner. What a b***h I've become until dinner time! Headaches and omg I'm moody! How do you get around this? Going back to teaching in a few days until my surgery date. I can't be a b***h to my students. My 3 and 5 year olds are driving me nuts! Any advice?

Sounds tough! I feel like I am the luckiest person ever bc my doctor only requires a 1 day liquid diet. I wish I knew what to tell you. One thing I would try is an energy drink that is sugar free or super low in sugar (if those are allowed, but should be). And, make sure it's an energy drink with B Vitamins bc this will greatly improve your mood. I drink Spark energy drinks from advocare. My husband and I like the fruit punch and it mixes in Water so it has flavor plus gives you amazing energy. If you do order, order the canister bc it is cheaper and lasts longer. I do a spoonful and a half every morning and every afternoon. Add to water bottle, shake, and drink. I did have some samples I could have mailed you, but I've given them all away. I have to order another canister of that and the Meal Replacement shakes today bc we are out. I use both and love both. The only energy drink that works for me (and is sugar free so my husband can drink bc he is diabetic). Also, these are the only meal replacement shakes I can stomach and are approved by my nutritionist. Weblink below.

Sept 25th will be here before you know it. I'll try to keep posting as I go through everything and you can keep me posted as well. Good luck going back to school. I bet it'll be fine! :)

      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.
