The left side pain is still pretty bad but everything else is manageable. I feel okay' date=' tired of liquids too!! Especially with the two weeks prior liquid diet, now this. I am on the full liquids but it is the shakes that I am struggling with. Are you getting them down okay? I think it hurt when it was cold.[/quote']

Unfortunately I can only have broth and Jello and Popsicles for the next few days. I am dying for a Protein Shake lol. I feel like that might at least give me a full feeling. I haven't experienced the problem with the cold stuff. I do wonder whether I am truly hungry or just feel that way watching food commercials and lying next to my fully stocked kitchen all day long!

I am starting week 3 of the Optifast liquid diet. 4 shakes a day and only water' date=' chicken broth or diet Jello. Surgery next Friday 26th. Have lost 17 lbs so far but am so surprised that I am not starving. Getting more nervous regarding surgery but am also excited. Fingers crossed.[/quote']

Oh my goodness! I feel like if you can endure three weeks of that you can endure anything:)

Lol I'm trying to get use to green jello. As a child during the holidays a family member always made a jello salad that my mom insisted that we eat. Now I'm not talking about a yummy jello salad with fruit. Nope it was green jello with pieces of lettuce carrots and nuts! So gross! So when they brought me green jello at the hospital I was like do you have any other colors lol

Lol I know right. At the hospital they had the most delicious Popsicles. There were white ones that tasted like piña coladas and blue ones that tasted like some other tropical drink. I asked them where they were from and they did not know. They were soo good! I haven't been able to find any like them...

      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.
