I have almost completed day three of my liquid. Yes, I am proud of myself for not cheating, even though I really want to. This is harsh!!!! I can have 1 cup of sugar free Jello, 5 carnation sugar free instant Breakfast shakes, and Water per day. DEAR GOD HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!! If anyone has any tricks or hints to get through this please share!!! Also, what is a decent tasting chewable Vitamin to get. I currently have Centrum chewable orange Multivitamin. Yuck! Lol!!!

I take the One A Day Vitacrave gummies and they are actually pretty good. As for the pre-op diet, it can be rough, but most people find after the third day things get much better. You just have to keep reminding yourself of the prize you will get in the end and how much you deserve this.

Thank you, I will try those instead. Mine are bitter and taste just like a Vitamin. Lol. Okay, I will keep reminding myself. I head no idea it would be this hard. I think even if I could have broth it would be easier. Ugh!

If you find that you are really having a hard time, don't hesitate to contact your doctor or nutritionist, a lot of times they will suggest something else you can have (maybe even broth) that will help you feel more satisfied.

I use Flintstones Complete chewable vitamins. My doctor told me to take two of them per day. Make sure you get the "Complete" Vitamins. They're not too bad, taste wise.

Keep reminding yourself of the reasons for the surgery and that soon the pre-op diet will be a fading memory. It is such a short time in your 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.
