I totally feel you guys! My surgery is the 20th and I am on day 3 of my lean diet ( forever greatful it's not all liquid). The first day I cheated and told myself just that one time. Yesterday I wanted a pbj soooooo bad and my mind wanted to say just one more time. However we all know one is never enough so I prayed and asked God to get me through the night and shared how I was feeling with you guys on here and I made it through the night.

Mine is on the 20th as well. I am 5 days into my diet as well, first 3 days great, no problem. Yesterday and today I could eat the house. I promised my husband that if I cheated in this diet I would cancel surgery ( he really doesn't want me to do it, he is scared silly). Not going to do either. Cheat or cancel..gotta keep your eye on the prize

I'm on day 7 of my two week diet and I'm not doing too bad. Haven't really been too hungry. At certain times I have been but for the most part I'm doing pretty well. I can have 4 Boost a day and broth.< /p>

I'm now starting day 4. It's got a little better but I'm having cravings. Just more so I think because I can't have it and really want it. I just keep remember there's a reason I'm doing this there's a reasons I got like this in the first place so gotta keep going. My friend had surgery a week ago and another friend 6 months ago they said cheating was going to happen because your body feels deprived. Glad to know I'm not the only may surgery:)

With our date getting closer are you getting more nervous? I'm after day 7 for shakes and it's became easier, like just a part of my routine. We got this though!!! Months of hard work and endless appointments

      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.
