Y'all are so lucky :) Today is day 8 of my liquid diet and I have 6 more days of it.....the first couple of days I was so hungry I wanted to gnaw my arm off, then it got better....but then yesterday it was bad again. It wasn't even that I was really hungry yesterday, I just wanted some REAL food. I keep telling myself it's all worth it in the end.

I've tried it ALL and nothing is helping. I was so weak today I thought I would pass out. I had some egg drop Soup. I hope this doesn't mess up my surgery date for thurs. I just thought I would black out. I'm nervous now.

Sorry to tell you this, but you need to get used to the liquids -- or cancel your surgery now. You'll be doing liquids for another 2-3 weeks after the surgery too.

Broths, drink the broths. And not low-sodium. Your body needs salt to survive. Strain chicken noodle or French onion Soup for a satisfying taste

I think you hit the nail on the head with the low sodium. That's the broth I was using.i do no want to cancel my surgery. I know I can do this and it's more mental than anything else.

Isnt it odd we are all on different combinations of liquid diets for different time frames? Why is that? My surgery is on 8/6. I am on day 2 of 5 of full liquids and then go to Clear Liquids for days 6 and 7. They told me 5-6 Protein Shakes a day and my stomach is still growling. I had a beefy mushroom Soup, strained, and it was yummy! Good luck to you all!

      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.
