I'm on the two week liquid fast before my surgery. It's the first day and it was kind of rough. I really wanted to eat. I'm hungry. I feel guilty for feeling so miserable so early on. How did those who did the liquid fast survive it?

I'm so happy to hear that. Because although I am super excited I am also super nervous. I have not really slept since the date was set. Where did you have it done? I'm going to mt Sinai

I was the same way but the recovery was very speedy, I was sleeved at Mount Sinai with doctor Kini. Let me tell you it was the best experience ever, never been in a hospital with so many nurses and people that care, Great choice!! I hope you have the same excellent experience.

      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.
