Take it one step at a time, after surgery you will have the tool that will make all of this easier and worthwhile. Now you are just prepping to have a safe sugery. You can do this!

You sound like me !!!! I was in that same frame of mind on the liquid diet. You CAN do this and you know it !!! My theory on the period is just the stress you are under and the liquid diet. I hadn't had a period for 8 months and started the DAY BEFORE SURGERY !! And it lasted for almost 2 weeks !!! Anyway, I tell you this, I too was ready to say the hell with it but I didn't and I'm glad, you will be too!! You can do it !!

Don't give up. I'm right there with you on the liquid diet, having started today. I'm finding the television and internet images of food are very difficult to deal with. I keep trying to find other ways to distract myself--reading, writing, being on here, etc. But hang in there. Remember that this isn't the beginning! We've already been down a long runway to get to this point (doc visits, insurance, nutritionists, psych evals, etc) and this is just a short phase. We can do it! Stick with me.

Thanx. Im glad to kno someone is just starting lol. I'm sure ppl all over r just starting. Being on my period isn't helping the situation either. So I'm 2X cranky and moody and so very emotional. All I did today was cry. but I kno it will b worth it in the end

You can do this! After surgery it'll be easier, you'll feel full so much faster and not sure about everyone else, but for me my hunger alarm literally shut of the first 18months afters surgery.

      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.
