Hi, day 2 was the hardest for me too. I'm now on day 4 and yesterday and today seem to be much easier (boring but easier). They do say the first 3 days are the hardest and it was the same when I tried doing the Lighterlife diet. So keep going and fingers crossed tomorrow will be easier. It's nice to know I'm not alone on this pre op diet as it's tougher than I think most people predict. I'm sure this will all be worth it in the long term.

My surgery is in 4 days and I was only asked to do liquids for 2 days. I believe it is because of cash pay. But I am wondering if you guys have any pointers for me? I have little ones and I cook for them a lot

I have young kids and i still had to cook for them while doing my pre op. Mine was 16 days of all liquids only.

Honestly, the only way i could do it was this. I would cook the family meal while sipping my Protein Powder broth. Once it was served i would vanish to a hot bath.

On pizza days i still vanish to the bath and im now 5 months post op.

Hi Roses1223, looks like were having it on the same day (25th), so exciting. I don't envy you having to cook for others but just try and keep I mind it will all be worth it. I'd try doing what gomekast suggested and maybe just try and keep changing your yoghurt flavours. I've also found the oxo cube with hot Water quite satisfying after just having the yoghurts, maybe having one of those when the kids eat will help?

      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.
