You can get thru this.... I didn't think I would make it thru all the liquid and restricted phases either. Definitely the toughest thing I've ever done.... But I made it thru! I'm almost five months post op and down 52 lbs! It's kinds like giving birth..... While in the process u think there's no fricken way.... But when it's over all u remember is how wonderful it is! Wishing u a speedy delivery. :-).

We have the same thing at my work and I feel your pain. That said, you can do this!! I'm pretty competitive so one thing that helps me is to think of all the people in my life who have said I can't do it and I pretend all the people who are visiting the birthday food station are saying in their head, "She can't do it...she's going to break and eat." That motivates me to stay strong. (Kind of screwed up, I know...but whatever works lol!)

Good luck! You'll be great!

We went on vacation during mine and my hubby was waiting to go to his fave restaurant...a world famous large buffet. Literally rooms of food.

I drank nothing but my Protein shake and kept busy by talking to people at the tables around us (they started the convos...so no I wasn't bothering anyone). I made it and I know you will too.

Come back to this site if you start to feel yourself getting tempted. We're rooting for you!!

For all of those who say you can't go this trust me you can!!!! Just strength and will power! If I can be tempted all day long by a s'mores cupcake and not give in! Anyone can make it because anything s'mores is one of my biggest weaknesses

      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.
