Oh yes, I was in your spot at week 3 through week 6. I am week 8 now and it was week 7 when it truly got better. Keep the fluids and shakes going and know that this will pass. Also, oddly enough, I started Quest Protein Bars at week 6 and I felt so much better. They are sugar free, have 20 grams of Protein and I went yo GNC as they have them buy 2 get 1 free so I tried them prior to buying a box. I like brownie, chic chip chunk and the caloric range on the ones I have is I hunk 170 to 210 calories. 23 carbs as well. Good luck I only eat 1 per day

@@VPAPNYC yes as far as I know it is still going on. They helped me get in some much needed nutrition when I needed it most. My nut loves them and my trainer loves them too.

      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.
