I can only have 4 Optifast shakes & one Soup daily. And Water... Lots and lots of water! I can also have crystal light mixes in my water' date=' but I'm not a big fan, so for now just Water. I have already stArted chewable Vitamins... So those are the only solids that I have eaten.[/quote']

Oh wow, that makes it tough. The bars added a little substance for me. I would be doing a lot of sleeping. I hope & pray it gets better for you each day!

U should try the crystal light PURE lemonade. It's really good way better than the regular crystal light. I have also made their mixed berry. My kiss even drink it....

I start my fast tomorrow and I have the butternut squash Soup, sugar free Jello, the broth and Protein Shakes as well as light juices. I got sugar free apple sauce too. Wasn't really sure if that will work but will have it on day one. Any other suggestions ward off the itch to eat. Oh the gum sounds like a good idea.

Thanks.

My surgery scheduled for the 17th of this month.

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!

Ha! That's exactly what I have been long, NikiG! In order to avoid nighttime cravings, I've been going to bed ridiculously early!

I have lost 7 lbs in 2 days on this LRD, but I feel really week and nauseous. I am able to eat 3-4 oz of lean Protein and 1 cup of non-starchy veggies at night for the first week of the 2. Then only shakes. Ugh! I have always had a problem with liquids on an empty stomach.

The weight loss is pretty incredible. I dropped 7pounds in be first 3 days. I'm using that as motivation to keep going. Big challenge this morning... Making eggs, bacon, and a biscuit for my son and not eating any myself. I survived it, though. I mentioned earlier weekends are going to be tough for me. Keep going. Just think, by surgery we'll probably be 20 pounds lighter. That much less to loose afterwards!

GM went to bed very late thinking about this day. Woke up early still thinking about this day. So I decided to get up and start getting things together around the house.

Drinking Water for now and trying to decide what to have for Breakfast on this first day.

      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.
