I second that! I'm on the same shake shake and more shake diet... Consider yourself lucky' date=' Pam, you have variety :) I'm going on day 5 of a two week diet. It's hard, but I think it's getting easier. I'm just trying to keep as busy as I can so I'm not daydreaming and nightdreaming about food... which I've done since I can remember lol[/quote']

I'm on day 3 and it absolutely IS getting easier....but still not easy!!! My issue is 8:30, my son goes to bed....the kitchen calls me :/

My problem is cooking dinner for everyone. I think they will have to fend for themselves for awhile, as I have decided to go on a walk at that time!

Lol, my eyeballs are floating in crystal light!!! My co-workers (brats) have started making bets on how many bathroom breaks I'll take during a day. I have a 16 oz cup I'm refilling almost hourly, it's insane!!!

And my kiddo is 8, I still have to help with supper. I have discovered if I chug a shake right before I make his dinner that I'm queasy and food is repulsive for a bit! I know, weird, but whatever works!!!!

      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.
