Are you drinking enough Water? Did they give you the 3 day liquid diet instructions? Maybe you can start early. I had to start mine early. My last appointment I gained. He told me to start right away. He normally requires a 14 day so I now have a 16 day.

But I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I weighed myself today just to see. I am down 5.4 pounds since my visit with him.

I am drinking about 120 oz of Water per day. 10 Cups of 12 oz each. I do have my clear liquid pre op instructions and decided to start today. Its just been caos around the home this past 3 days. To compensate the stress I was so stupid I ate a lrg pk of french fries on Monday followed by 2 baked chicken legs last night. If sister and husband continue with the drama, I will pack my bags and go to a hotel. They had never argued in 17 years and picked the wrong time to do so. I get stressed out and eat even more.

      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.
