You'll be fine! Just take it a moment, hour and day at a time. Try not to think about the next 17 days today, it can be overwhelming. So, you slipped, don't bury yourself in guilt! Tomorrow is another day, another chance to move forward!

Be Encouraged! YOU CAN DO THIS! :rolleyes:

Great advice....my surgery is 12/5/13 and the liquid diet has been a struggle but I have not put anymore weight on since the 12 I dropped. I'm sitting here making a grocery list at 1:45 am and watching YouTube videos. My nervous are setting in and I'm beginning to doubt that I can keep this up, ike everything else I've tried in the past. Going to pray and ask God to help me continue this journey without doubting the multiple abilities he has blessed me with. Venting.....always works! Good night all!

*12/5/13 : )

The first three days are the worst, but if you stick to the letter of the law, after day 3 it gets a lot easier. But cheating makes the whole 3-day thing start over, so don't even think about it. You got this!

Thanks, however; it been almost two weeks and my craving have not subsided! But I can say I've cheated and eat steamed broccoli. Everything has been healthy foods.

Well I'm only on day 1 right now , I'm definitely going to try and stick with this but I think my week one should be ok because I can still eat food but only at dinner , my week to I think will be the hardest with only being able to drink 5 shakes a day every 3 hours plus 64 oz of Fluid daily .

      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.
