I'm day 6 of my liquid diet. Today was the hardest. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm having this done mainly because I'm doing it alone. No one knows. I get sleeved on Sept 4 three days before my bday

Good luck. Just remember you're not alone in this. You have an awesome support base right here.

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it as food has been a bit of a party lately. I keep thinking.... Oh, I can't eat this for a long time??? I better eat it now!! It will be nice not to have to think about food for a while. I feel so bloated I think I will feel better.

Oh sure, I say that now but we'll see how I feel after a few days of liquid diet!!! :) Good luck!

Way to go! :) I'm down 10 and feeling better already! Hunger pains come and go I keep busy to try and ignore them. Especially at night! I just go to sleep lol

Yazun, those hunger pains were the worst on pre op, but im a few days post and I never have hunger pains. In fact I was walking around the grocery store today like a champ, nothing bothered me!

And yes from your avatar, you do have a pretty face , from what your friends tell you! ^_^

My surgery is 9/3 getting nervous about going under. I think that's why I am asking so many questions on this forum. How much have you lost?

I'm in a really rough spot. I don't get a sleeve date until I lose 15 pounds. Set in stone. What I don't know is how soon after the 15 I'll have the surgery. So, my pre-op diet could potentially last a lot longer than I really want.

My weakness isnt really a particular food. It's the time of day. I can drink tea and Protein Shakes all day long but right before bedtime, the pantry calls. That lonely stand-before-the-fridge-and-stare thing. It just feels humiliating and shameful to take something out and eat it with a heavy heart.

Back on track: it would be wonderful to have a deadline. I could hit it hard and do it. The whole vague up to me deadline is pretty hard.

      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.
