Don't be so hard on yourself! Sounds like you had a huge disappointment in not getting to set your date. Don't let it get you so down. We all have our days...or months, in my case. Good news is, you can always start again. Go do something for yourself that will make you happy, and then resolve to do better. And keep heart! Several months from now, I will be confessing my failures on this diet adventure too. We are all in this together.

Try and back up and understand what old habit/trigger got in the eay of the new. Its the only way to figure out the head hunger.

Forgive yourself, and be accepting of what you are doing, so you can destress and come back into the healthy eating. Eat as much as you want, but make it healthy foods. Acknowledge you stayed within your goal for the day. get the sugars and fats and processed food "baddatives" that make you crave out of your system with lots of Water.

Be ok with what happened, and let it go. If you need to, literally take a walk and "drop" your negative feelings twords this along the way, and as you walk into your home, see you new resolution sitting at door door, visualize it like a big gift, pick it up. Its yours! You got this! Good luck!

How disappointing! I believe, for me, pre-op was by far harder. Every step closer you worry about getting to the next phase.

Having an end in sight makes it a little easier, only to have it pulled out from underneath you. UGH, I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Now you can dust yourself off and get back on the track you've chosen for yourself. Even if you don't have a date yet, you are still getting in the very best shape possible to have the best outcome you can. You're still in this for the same reasons. YOU deserve to start off in the best position you can.

YOU GOT THIS!! Good luck!

Tomorrows. NEW day! Pick up where you left off- learn for the mistakes- but don't let then define you or break you! :-)

Do it for YOU!

      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.
