I found it got better after the 4th day. I just keep thinking of the future, so I have not cheated. Today is day 12 of liquid diet, and I have dropped 18 lbs.

Surgery is on Monday morning.

Completing the regiment the doctor required with the opifast shake will help me lost 10 lbs. before my surgery. If I don't lost 10 lbs. my surgery will be rescheduled. I drink five shakes a day, I can have sugar-free Jello, crystal light and I have to drink two quarts or more of Water each day. I was also told if I still feel hungry I can have two ounces of chicken broth with low sodium but only once a day : (. I started the liquid diet on 11/22/13 (yesterday) it has not been that bad!

im on day 4, everything had to be bought from their store. I enjoy the variety but i feel insane for eating some of this (powdered eggs, wtf?!?) much easier when you stay busy and dont think about all the delicious things you could be eating. Super proud of myself for not cheating!!!

      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.
