I am. It's better because my nutritionist said that I can have a cup of veggies and fish/ chicken/ salmon only 4 ounces for dinner... So I really don't be that hungry. I'm trying to drink the shakes by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury so far I've only had the chocolate one it was good. I didn't care for the chicken Soup. Maybe I made it to hot

I very well might be starting my two week liquid diet on Christmas day. I fear the liquid diet more than the actual surgery! Lol...I'm serious!

Snow it gets better- after about 3-4 days you don't even crave foods. It is challenging though-- don't give up, keep your eye on the prize !

My surgeon doesn't allow any foods other than the opti fast shakes and Soups.

Day 2... Done. It wasn't so bad today. Having the Soup to look forward to for dinner was a nice treat. It's made me realize how much of my life has been centered on food or meals. Now I'm focusing on activities instead. It's hard, for sure, but I am determined to stick to it. I always, always cheat on diets. I want this to be the one I follow through on.

The powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is good u should try that. Also my doct allowed me 4 ounces of Protein and a cup of veggies, because I get headaches. U should check into it. I use the shakes and Soups all day then the meat and veggies at night since I'm home with the family by then, an drink Water in between

I have to start my pre liquid diet on the 21st surgery the 31st. I was told liquid through the day and some sort of entree at night like the smart ones or lean cuisine. I think I would rather have lean beef or chicken with a good salad instead of those dinners. I already hate them from all the pastas and creamy sauces on them turns my stomach

Old Hippie Gal,

I think those frozen meals are a bunch of processed food with little nutritional value. Lean meats and fresh veggies would probably be a better option. I'm sure your surgeon wants you to watch portion size. Day 3 of all liquid diet for me! I lost 5 pounds in the first 2 days. Hopefully my liver is shrinking away for easy 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.
