Just started on my 2 week liquid date today, I am struggling BIG TIME! Any suggestions please :'(

I completely understand!!! I am on day four of my two weeks. I will be honest the first three days is a B**CH!!! However, day four I'm finally starting to feel some excitement again. The first three days I was ready to give up. I kept asking myself .... "Can I really do this??" Reading blogs on this site and seeing before and after pictures on google images has really kept me focused. I broke down and ordered the really expensive chicken broth from Unjury. I am also eating surgar-free Jello. When is your surgery date????

My surgery is June 18th. I have been starving most of the day, drank my shakes, Water, had some broth a little while ago and a sugar free popsicle. I have the worst headache ever! I just hope this gets better over the next few days, lol! I keep telling myself I can do this, then a few seconds later I am like, boy I sure hope I can do this. I know it's more mental than anything, but that in itself is hard! Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated! When is your surgery?

My surgery is on the 17th. I had a headache the first day as well but I took a headache pill and it went away. I also bought some ketosis sticks. That has helped me see that my body really is doing what its suppose to! haha Hang in there.

WrightNow,

      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.
