I'm doing it right now. the first two days are hell, but i'm hanging in there. just tell yourself it's only temporary and you'll be done it after 5 days. yesterday i almost past out. i'm doing it because i'm out going onto 5 years and have regained about 30 lbs and now need to loose it. i am doing the pouch test to shrink my "tube" and then will go back to basics of Proteins first, then veggies, etc.

i let my comfort with the sleeve get the best of me and because of that, i gained weight. It's going to be a continuous battle for me all my life.

Have you thought about looking into a more comfortable eating plan, like 5:2 Alternate Fast Days? Here's what I know - we can get through a few days of almost starvation or liquid diet but overall, it's the maintenance that will do us in.

I am 3 1/2 years out, regained about 30 pounds also. Finally found a method of maintenance that works as a lifestyle - many of us have accomplished re losing or getting to goal through this method. There is a thread out there and you can google Fastdiet 5:2 and see info but there is a LOT of info here and people who are willing to help. Long term it is the best thing I have done for myself. Lost the 30 pounds and an additional 10 since June 4th and maintaining it easily with 2 semi-fast days a week. Just a thought...

      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.
