You know, for those of you that are tired of sweet - have you tried Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein? It looks and smells a little "off", but its really not bad. I mix it with about 1/4 cup of actual chicken broth to boost the flavor, and it's actually pretty good like that. Sometimes you need something that feels more like a meal than a dessert.

I am on the one week mark of my two week liquid Protein fast...I am not as hungry as I was... but I still definitely get hungry. My doc allows broth' date=' popsicles and sugar free Jello, but no actual food to snack on... I really miss chewing, and ice is out because my teeth are sensitive to cold. But my surgery date is Mon Oct 22, so I am hopeful that this last week will pass quickly! I drink a LOT of Water anyway, so that has been no problem. Just. Missing. Food! :o)[/quote']

@strangefruit: Good luck on your surgery. I'm heading in on Wednesday and i'm hopeful for a speedy recovery because I need to head back to work on the 29th. You are in my thoughts!

I'm going to hold off since i'm going in for a colonoscopy on the 22nd. I've been on a true liquid diet since 3am. The next day after that, i'm still on liquids pending the sleeve. I added more Soups to my diet to offset the sweet and it did the job. I'm down 10 lbs over the past 2 weeks - yippee!

I hope Im as good as you all are at this, I did it for 2 weeks when I had the lap band in 2007. The only good thing about is this time is that I only have to do it for 3 days, but Ive been so weak and 3 days will feel like 2 weeks Lol

      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.
