I had to use the New Direction meal replacements......didn't care for them at all.....if you get the pudding, make it the night before and refrigerate,...the cheese broccoli Soup was the worse...I was limited to the pudding, shake and soups.....if you can do the bars, then that should be better...good luck!! Hope it goes quickly for you..

There are some thingso you can do to trick you brain here are a few.

Chew cinnamon gum

Brush teeth right after you eat anything even a snack

Drink grapefruit juice first thing in the am

Take Vitamin c ( Vitamin C clears nicotine out of your system load up on it)

Gargle with cinnamon mouthwash

All these thing help trick your brain and balance the chemicals out so the cravings are not bad.........

      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.
