Day 1 of the pre-op liquid diet wasn't horrible. As a general rule, the Protein shakes are easy for me to tolerate. This brand, the doctor requires us to use since it will give the same results for shrinking the liver for every single patient. The smell of this Protein is really hard to take. I've got the vanilla brand so that I can add a variety of flavors. No matter what I have added for flavor has not helped one bit.

I got 3 shakes in so far. Need to get 2 more in before bed. I have all of my Fluid requirements in already, but will continue to sip for the rest of the evening. I have some Jello in the fridge and popsicles in the freezer.

I WILL DO THIS!

      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.
