FRUSTRATED ON ALL LEVELS!



Recommended Posts

This liquid diet is really a challenge. Perhaps it's head hunger at this point, because my stomach is not growling. I just want food. I have loved Jell-o since a child, but at this point.. and these shakes. Oh boy! This is not good! I'm trying to be strong and positive, counting the days until April 15th. Sigh...

Sounds like you will have a hard time ahead handling this. It is hard for everyone, really. Keep busy. Good luck!

Ugh, I can only imagine how hard this is for you! I have my first appt with the doctor the day of your surgery. Soon you'll look back and it will be a distant memory. Hang in there!

For me, the pre-op diet was the worst part of the entire experience. Keep busy and keep drinking. Surgery day will be here before you know it!

You can do it, yes you can. It's awful, it sucks, it's a pain, but you gotta get through it and we know you can. Come on here and vent. Sending hugs. You will be through it before you know....

May you be blessed with the strength you need to get through it all! The hardest things in life are the most rewarding, and although that doesn't help you in this exact moment, I hope you will feel it when you look back. This part of the journey only lasts 8 more days!

I just love you all so much. This is the one place I know I can not only find people who understand, but people who encourage me. I'll be fine! Sometimes I just get a little frustrated and want to chew. Mind Over Matter!

I agree ....keeping yourself busy helps....I am suffering more from head hunger than actual hunger....there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Stay strong!! You can do it

      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.
