It gets easier kndi. Just stay away from others eating and weekends are a little tough. I think the first 4 days were the hardest but then I had no oroblems

Thank you for the encouragement. I drank my dinner so I think I will play it safe and go to bed with my book. One day down...six more to go.

After 4 days it gets easier and then just stay clear of restaurants' date=' drive thrus, and just people eating. I could have a few sugar free hard candies and that helped me. I had 3 due to it would make you gassy lol[/quote']

Any kind of candy sounds good right now ;)

Try a few sugar free. It helped me over the humps. I think during my 14 day liquid diet I had maybe a total of 10 pieces?

The sugar free butterscotch were wonderful

I got the pre-op diet blues.

I just don't know which Protein flavor to choose.

Everyone around me's eating what they please.

Pizza' date=' fried rice, macaroni and cheese.< /p>

I'm just trying to choke yet another shake down.

Ok look, now they're passing candy around.

I'm about to eat my own shoe.

I totally understand that about the food being everywhere! I don't know if you have kaiser permanente but they have a good chocolate Optifast Meal Replacement shake! If not I like the chocolate muscle milk. I know how you feel about choking 1 more shake down. And I wish I could tell you it gets better right away, I am 5 days post op and the smell of food is killing me! But even if I wanted to I couldn't because my sleeve couldn't tolerate it! Just hang in there I know it's hard but I also know that it will be worth all we are going through! To be skinny & healthy, That will be our prize! And what will those people have that we're passing around all that food, moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips! :) they will be trying yet another diet and failing while you are getting skinnier by the moment! Hang in there ok, we both can get through this! Hope this helped.

      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.
