I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet I don't feel ridiculously hungry but I cannot drink the shakes. Day one I had a half of one, day two one, and today nothing. I'm nervous about what my doctors going to say. Anyone else have this problem???

Bummer...could you try a different kind? If it is a taste or texture thing maybe you could thin it down with more Water. There are also Protein "shots" which are not much volume but still have the protein...I think you can get them at Wal-Mart...good luck!

I had the exact same issue. I went to Walmart and bought the shots which are only about 3oz and they have 27 grams of Protein. And a box of six would run you about $9 if you order it online to pick up at the store it is a couple of bucks cheaper. Good Luck!

I feel your pain. It was so hard for me on the liquid diet part. I found the GNC brand lean shakes were great they are 25 grams if Protein and like 3 grams of sugar. They were the best tasting ones. Believe me I tired them all. Keep going strong I keep saying if I could do it anyone could do it. It was so tough for me and I'm so proud I did it! Try the gnc brand ones they are pre mixed too. Pretty good tasting

      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.
