Hey there Juan:) The liquid diet really bites doesn't it? And I know it will be a long 3 weeks. I feel your pain.

But this is the deal - if you don't have the stupid liquid diet, they won't give you the surgery. If you don't have the surgery you will stay in the place you are, which is wanting to lose weight and not having the success that you want. That's why you chose to go the surgery route. After you have your surgery you will completely morph into a whole new person (on the outside anyway). Just think of how you'll look in a few short months post op! It's gonna be awesome. .It sucks to have to do the liquid diet. I know that very well. But you gotta! You can do this. And if you need an understanding ear in the meantime you can find it right here. Hang tough and fight the good fight:)

It is really hard, and it sucks big time. Best advice i have is to just take it one meal at a time. You'll get through it, the ends totally justify the means! 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.
