Liquid diet blues

Today is day 3. I'm sooo tired of broth and liquids. To be honest I am craving a bowl of Cereal hard core!

I was doing good until up to an hour ago and then all of a sudden I had a massive crave for cereal.

You too? I'm craving a juicy hamburger and it is soo bad that when a television food commerical comes on I want to lick the screen. Never had head hunger this bad with the lapband. By the time I go into the operating room I always give the doctor my menu before they put me out. I ask them to include it with the medication. There reply is usually here comes your steak and I always reply I can taste it, I think though I only get to "I can taste zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz". Wishing you luck on your journey, I only have 3 days when I get that steak.

Every since I've had to battle weight which started in my mid 30's I always said wouldn't it just be nice if they could invent a pill that we would just swallow which would contain everything. Of course that will never happen, but your right flavor foods that would taste like the real thing for people who really can't have the real thing but could have like a steak flavored sf popsicles. Right now I'm going after sf Jello and the a sf popsicle and then back to another Protein Drink, then back to.... but you get the picture. I have yet to figure out if the doctor could take out the band without me doing a pre-op diet to shrink the liver, haven't figured out why I had to go through it now. I even lost more weight after the band came out. Plus I only have 50 lbs to go. When I saw the doctor Thursday he didn't even bring up my weight, just the fact I would not have to be a diabetic. I actually think some of this pre-op is to prepare us and more to shrink the stomach and a little to do with the liver. I'm just a logical thinking person and for me it isn't making sense no matter what they are telling me.

      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.
