I am one day five of the two week liquids and was dreading July 4th. So, I turned it into something positive by joining our church to serve police officers and firefighters meals. I am going to take my Protein Drinks with me. I think if my mind is off of it. I will be okay. I hope I am right. Then my surgery will be four days later on the 8th.

Best of luck on the 8th..

Hi, I started my two week liquid diet two days ago. I am in the same boat. This is the absolute worst!! I also have to attend a large function on the 4th. I know that the Protein shakes help. I plan to keep moving and stay away from the food. If they are playing games or have other activities, I will be in that area. I might even offer to walk the dog. Anything to keep me from seeing the entire crowd eat. I also plan to download the bariatripal app so that I can get to the support groups for moral support if I need it.

I'm starting a two week liquid diet tomorrow that will last me up until my first weigh in. I'm nervous too about being around all the food and not having it. food smell is probably the toughest for me. I have a strong sense of smell.

But, we can do this... one step at a time. Good luck!!!

      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.
