You can do it!! A week isn't bad at all! The first 2-3 days will be the hardest, once you get through them you'll be fine! Just keep your eyes on the prize :)

I agree Kanesmom, you just have to fight thru those first few days...

That's exactly how I feel. Like time is just slowly ticking by making this harder & much more stressful.

I'm on Day 3 as well. Was hungrier today but it wasn't that bad. The first two days I honestly thought "I cannot do this!" My head was killing me and I had the shakes so bad. I guess it was from withdrawals from good and all the crap I decided to eat the last week for my "food funeral". Maybe that wasn't such a great idea after all! ???? Anyway, after today was soooo much better, I think I can totally rock the next four days. Surgery is on March 7th and I'm stoked! Packing my bags, cleaning, and pre-cooking planned for tomorrow to be prepared. Good luck everyone!!

"Food Funeral" lmbo! that's hilarious!!! Hahaha i wish I would have thought about doing that & had full portions of my favorite meals for the last time!! My surgery date is also March 7th! So much going on the last few days that our surgery date will be here before we know it! Can't wait to get past the healing time & get back to normal life

      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.
