I started my clear liquid diet today...I hope I have the strength to make it through to the 25th!!

You can do it! Every time you resist the urge of the old life you are retraining your body. Prepare yourself that the first four days are awful. Protein and fluids are your friend. :-)

Take a tablespoon........ if that does not get the "movement" going, take another TBSP... remember MOM is your FRIEND........ Stay close to the bathroom as she will make you RUN, .. BUT you will be so relieved and HAPPY that you took it...............I did not KNOW this PRE my surgery...... and OMG............ I know what $hitting a brick feels like......... I even gave myself enemas...... it was SO PAINFUL......... they did NOT HELP................ MOM LOVES YOU...........and will make it all RUN smoo0ooothhhhhly......... just stay close to the bathroom. UNTIL u feel good enough to go a FEW days..... take MOM......... you have to keep the stuff moving OUT....... SMOOTHLY for u to FEEL GOOD

      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.
