I'm on day 3 of my clear liquid only diet. I'm starving and exhausted. I cheated yesterday and had a grilled cheese, today a banana and a brownie. I feel horrible and guilty.

Any words of encouragement..

Hi put it behind you and start again to make good choices, now that you realize what you have done do no continue to dwell on it, tell your self I am going to take one day at a time , and remember why you are going through this, we are not all perfert and we all make mistakes, the key is that you know what mistakes you have made and you know what you need to do to correct your actions.

i cheated on my pre op too and felt really guilty but now im 5 mo out and over 100 lbs down, just stay focused on the goal ahead, we all have road blocks but just keep your eye on the prize! its all in your head. There's going to be a lot of head hunger in your future but just make sure you are constantly drinking it'll help surpass it! and if you can have any Protein Water in your diet, try that cuz like someone else said, the protein will definitely help curb the appetite

Try not to think of it as a 'diet'. Think of it as preparing for a surgery.

You want to give your surgeon the best chance of doing a safe surgery, and give yourself the best chance at a smooth recovery.

Start fresh, now, today. You can do this! Wonderful things are ahead for you, just keep your eye on the prize!

good luck!

If you just can't seem to get through, talk to your doctor and see if he'll allow a small amount of lean Protein. I was allowed three ounces of lean meat a day and it was just what I needed to get through.

I should add that my friend had the same diet you did, called in and said I'm struggling and was only then allowed the meat.< /p>

      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.
