I've done so well on the diet until today. I'm on my period, and 800 calories is definitely not enough for this hunger. I ended up having a can of chicken noodle Soup. It wasn't a cheeseburger, but I'm still wanting to eat. I'm sure it is emotional. I'm so angry that I have until the 22nd, and I'm struggling so hard.

You can make it!! Stay strong!

I am finishing up day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and I am having a very hard time tonight. I am due for my period, having the PMS cravings and PMS headaches and have just been sitting g in my bed so I don't get too close to temptations!!!!! I wish the 23rd would get here all ready!!!!!!! :(

PMS, it's the worst! I'm scheduled for surgery on the 28th, and I am pms'ing too. Keep strong!

Looks like I'll be joining the Januaries! 1/29 - got my date today. Trying to do my shopping tomorrow and figure out what I need to be stocking up on for post op. Have to lose some more weight to ensure I can keep my date though.

Had surgery on 17th and was home yesterday. Pain wasn't too bad. Was just hard to move with the drainage tube and catheter the first two days. I'm feeling much better now that I'm home. The two week liquid pre-op diet was the hardest part by far. It paid off though. I don't feel any hunger whatsoever.

      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.
