Everything hurts me too. 1 week left on my pre op diet and I am feeling sorry for myself. I just ate some sugar and fat free vanilla pudding instead of my night shake. It may have had more calories, but made me feel tons better.

Im not allowed to have any thing but clear sugar free liquids and 2 -10 oz shakes

. It will be the same post op for 2 weeks while your stomach swelling goes down and as you heel you will be tempted to try food because surgery is over and no risk of insurance denial/doctor not doing it. So pre op diet is so important to get your head in the game! You have 1 week to go!! Great job so far!!

Have you tried Vitamin Water Zero or G2? I dranks lots of Vitamin Water Zero, helped with keeping electrolytes balanced and made me feel better.

I drank the Zero Vitamin Water too, it's awesome, and has natural flavorings, so no sweetner. I feel your pain. It's funny that at the point you are now with the Clear Liquids, you feel like you could eat a house, but next week when you graduate to puree, you'll be lucky if you can get a couple of mouthfuls in. Good luck, it doesn't last forever, even though it feels as if.

      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.
