So you were able to drink the liquid just fine? By itself? I just want to get over this liquid phase. How many days out are you from surgery? How was it overall? I'm starting to freak

I had my sleeve on 9/20. The liquid diet won't be gone anytime soon. At least for me. Tomorrow I am going to start soft and mushy foods. I have been on a liquid diet for about 4weeks. After the sleeve liquids have been enough. Yes I've wanted to taste things but I am too worried to open up anything. You will also need to love your liquids after because you don't ever want to be dehydrated. Water has been my bff. I know its a lot for you but it will get better and some days will be a little blue. But I'm very happy I did it!

      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.
