I have the same feeling, not hungry but I want to eat something. I have found crushed ice or even ice I've blended helps. That crunch makes me feel like I'm eating something.

Yeah I am on all liquids for 16 days to shrink my liver and clear me out lol but I am in Australia so things are a bit different here.

Unfortunately it's school holidays here so I am stuck making 3 meals a day for 7 more days.

That would be hard. This liquid diet is proving we are stronger than we thought. Good luck!

Started my liquid diet today. 13 more days to go...I did have a few minutes where I could have totally cheated but remembered that cheating is what got me here. I am trying to stay focused and disciplined because this is about getting my body ready surgery.

I almost cried because I was mourning the lost of my smoked almonds and whole cashews. I want hot food.

hy when I'm on the liquid diet every other commercial is food. Why would I possibly be craving little Caesars? Come one really little Caesars !!! I've slipped a couple of times. I went to the movies and had popcorn. And I ate 7 smoked almonds. I still stayed under 1000 calories but they want me at 800. I had to start giving away my Snacks so I won't eat them. I need to train my mind more because next week it's all clears. Pray for me.

5 more days. I'm going to will my liver to shrink.

Did you all completely clean out your pantry and refridge and get rid of a lot of food before you started your liquid diet? There is so much stuff that I want to get rid of, but I need to keep food in my house for my family!

same with me. My family still has their Snacks. I even warned them that I was going to buy frozen dinners so that I wouldn't have to cook and smell the food.

Sounds like everyone is going great!

I am now on day 9 of 16 and things are much easier now.

I am drinking a lot of my sweet tea but it has no sugar (liquid sweetener instead) and I gave my surgeon a ring and he was okay with the black tea in whatever volume I could consume lol so it's all good.

I have to say I am starting to get nervous now, everything is payed for and arranged so it's just a waiting game.

      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.
