I started mines today by choice. My surgery is 1-8-2014 but I wanted a head start so my body could adjust to the change. It's been tough but I try to keep myself busy and focus on why I am doing this. The more you think about it the worst it will be for you. I am the one who cooks for my family, so those are the most challenging times but I motivate myself into not caving. You can do it, it's will power!

I start my three week liquid diet on New Year's Eve day. I'm already feeling sad. Like I'm mourning food. I know we will all get through it. It definitely helps to know we are not alone. My surgery is jan 21/14 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. See you all on the losers bench!

Just a tip...first 2 or 3 days will be the toughest to get thru, also a cup of chicken broth will help with headaches....good luck to you all and a very Happy New Year!

On Day 15 of a 4 week liquid pre-op diet. Lost 11.7 pounds got 12 more to go. I have cheated but planned to because of the holidays. I didn't go and binge, but had a small portion, mainly Protein. My gain was Water which disappeared by morning thanks to blood pressure meds, gotta live those diuretics. The scale is still going down in the right direction. My surgery is Jan 9 th in Gävle, Sweden.

Right I'm complaining about being on day 4 of a 7 day diet. I hope your cold goes away too. I'm only one day ahead of you and trying my best to stay out of the cold and avoid crowded public germy places. I don't want anything to delay this surgery. I don't think I could do a liquid diet again with this stomach.

      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.
