The first 3 days are the roughest. I ate a LOT of extra SF Jello. I found that if I kept eating the Jello every couple hours - it kept me from starving. The best Protein Shake I found was ready made Adkins Advantage. I like the Milk chocolate flavor - tastes a lot like a real chocolate shake. You can get a four pack at Walmart or your local grocery store for a reasonable cost. So I start the day with a shake - eat the jello every two hours until it's lunch - then another shake - wait two hours and then jello.... It really has helped me. I also drank lots and lots and lots of Water. I'm on day 6 and looking forward to my surgery on 12/26. At least then I won't FEEL hungry. Good luck to both of you. It really does get easier. Hang in there :)

      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.
