Queen Bee Bee, sorry but I couldn't help laugh at your little rant! It's good to have a place to let these emotions out. I'm new to this site but have found it so helpful already. It's good for us all to hear the good and the difficult times. I'm in the just beginning category and I don't want to hear only the positive. I want to hear the real deal! When I get to that pre opp diet I want to know what to expect..REALLY expect! So thank you for posting your true feelings. I hope you are feeling better soon! Take care

. 4 more.. You can do it!! 2 weeks after surgery is the same as you will feel and be hungry about 3 days pits op. You don't feel restriction till you start full liquids or mushy. So just make peace with the pre op diet! You feel lighter? I did and that made me feel fantastic and got me through it!

So today is so much easier...I've been able to cook for hubby without resenting him! So big breakthrough...I was feeling jealous that he could eat all these yummy foods while I was sucking down another shake and I was getting angry with him and myself and it was aweful. Today it doesn't bother me too much. I'm starting to feel fuller on the shakes now they sustain me a lot more too :) haven't cracked the shits at all today :) VICTORY!!!! Thank god for this app and the Facebook page sassy sleevers just helps to know ur not alone and helps to know whAts in store 10 more days to go!!!!

Hang in there! It gets better. The preop diet (I did 2 weeks of only liquids) was the worst part. I'm 2.5 months postoperative and have lost 55 lbs!

I have surgery in 5 weeks and was told to low carb the week before to shrink my liver, but I'm trying to start earlier. It's really hard, I completely understand. I did Ideal Protein for 5 months and lost 50 pounds but lived in a perpetual state of hunger. It was horrible-led to serious carb-binging after I finally gave up. I would literally have lists of foods I was craving. So, I'm nervous about going back into a hunger-diet situation.

You are doing so well! I wish I had words of encouragement beyond "it's almost over."

Keep up the great work and feel free to vent-we all get 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.
