I'm sure this will get easier after I have surgery Tuesday but not eating is psychologically weird.

You can do this! I remember that the first few days were the hardest. Best of luck to you!

I feel your pain (hunger). I had three weeks of a liquid diet and the whole 'you won't feel hungry thing' missed me completely. On puréed food now and I finally understand what that means. I'm 6 weeks out and doing well. Hang in...

It will get easier. This is one of the hardest parts! Just keep your eye on the prize! It will come!!! You can do this and be successful! Just try to take your mind off of it if you can by doing something else (easier said than done I know!) But you are capable and it will pay off!!!! Sending you good thoughts for a successful journey!

It was a breeze actually. Just had to drink that barium which has the same consistancy as chalk Water. What was really neat, if you get a chance you can see inside of your own body which is always interesting (at least to me).

Thanks everyone, I'm telling myself that this is all temporary and that food isnt going anywhere. Tomorrow I think I will probably sleep most of the day honestly.

      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.
