July 3rd is my date, I've been on liquids for a month tomorrow and can't wait. Tomorrow is the beginning of your new life! I really didn't miss food until the last couple of days, I think my last meal was lobster, I wanted to do it right! You will hear some people get headaches the first few days, I did and learned real quick to keep hydrated and keep my Proteins at 115 or more to stave off fatigue. I then learned to start Probiotics right away!!!!! Walk and walk and more walking, I find yoga is helping and 53 lbs later I'm able to move like I haven't in years! BBQ's are tough and a real change if people don't know what your planning, so do tell them if you can. Keep busy, my yard looks fabulous, I'm working out in the yard as a tool to keep busy and work up my heart rate. I found the best Protein shakes are at costco for 30 Proteins per 11 oz and $25 a case. You will drink 4 to 5 a day! I also include sugar free yogurt and pudding and the best organics brand Soups for dinner, added garlic salt and any other seasoning I could think of. a half a packet of top ramen Soup seasoning is awesome for around 40 calories. Protein drinks for Creamer in my Decaf and lots and lots of Water all day! I will be in Post Falls Idaho for the fourth to enjoy the fireworks and my new life!

I would love a buddy as well. Starting liquid diet and it sounds to be difficult vs. my previous eating habits. I am so ready for this change and excited for what it means for us but also our family who now have us but with limited activity levels.

We can do this!

      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.
