Hi everyeone! I'm new here. I just signed up yestreday. I've found a lot of the posts very helpful.

My gastric bypass surgery is in two weeks and I've started my phase II liquid diet in prep for the surgery. The foods that I'm supposed to eat aren't bad, but when you work in an office where someone is constantly bringing in Burger King, McDonald's and pizza it can be tough! I know that I have to stay true and follow the diet, but I'm going a bit mad here! :)

If anything I'll have a better willpower after going through this, right?

Thanks for letting me vent a little bit.

I understand your problem, simply because food is not like smoking or social drinking . You have to eat, you don't have to smoke or drink. Let's be honest Burger King and McDonald's smells lot better than a cup of Soup or should I say broth. But stay focus on the big picture. I don't start my liquid until the 26th. surgery Oct 8th. During that time I may need you to remind me of these words I shared with you. 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.
