Made it past the half way point with 10 more days to go!!!

A few things I have noticed so far.

1) A person can really survive on liquids alone.

2) "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman" even what he eats is starting to look good.

3) As my stomach growls and gurgles at least I have something to listen to all day.

4) " Don't poke the bear!" Dad is on edge better to leave him alone for awhile.

5) Cooking for the family sucks!

6) I now have half a binder with recipes for post diet.

7) My stomach now jiggles. :P

Down 35lbs which I already feel better but have many more to go.

Hey ForMyFamily - what does ur liquid diet consist of? I'm trying to drop 20lbs in 5 weeks and my doctor has me on glucerna (diabetic ensure) 4 cans a day. I should be on a 4 week diet but I'm going to give myself a 1 week head start

I will mix 20 ounces in a shaker with Protein mix in the mourning then drink 10 for Breakfast and 10 for lunch. This gives a total of about 60gr for protein so far. I always was a big Water drinker but have found I am switching or should I say needing flavor. So all through the day I drink about 1gallon or more of Crystal lite or water with Mio or Powerade Zero. snack time is another 10 oz Protein Drink and a dinner treat of Unjury chicken Soup protein finishing out the days total of 100 to 120gr of protein.

This is a very strict regiment and I sometimes have to remind myself not to fail. It is ok though as I see it training for the next step. The protein helps with the hunger and drinking fluids all day seems to satisfy.

      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.
