@@Victoria bunnag. I bought prune juice, with pulp. I drink a full 8ozs right around 10pm. Works for me the next morning. Also, I don't dilute with Water.

I use 3 rounded tsp of benefiber twice a day and that helps keep me more regular, but then once in a while I get constipated even taking that, and need a dose of Miralax (I've tried MOM and the 'natural' remedies to no avail, so my RN said to go with Miralax).

I"m also fighting that urge to eat the wrong stuff or overeat other things, and the scale is up 1/5 lbs this week. Darn! I'm about deciding that I need to reset my food intake and calorie limits. The nutritionist said i'm not getting enough in (i was at 650 before I began eating dumb stuff!) and now am up to about 900-1000 when I count those darned Cookies or a chocolate or two...or three. It's head stuff I know, and so I need to revisit why and how I feel and what my best self feels like when I eat that and when I don't, and that they CAN be part of my life sometimes, but are NOT part of my daily plan if that plan is to continue to lose weight. I like losing weight, and how I feel when i am doing so - and I love feeling so much freer to live a good life in a more active body. I just need to remember that when staring sweets in the eye! Sigh.

We can do this - it's just not going to be easy. Don't mean we can't do it though!

When was your surgery and how much have you lost? Don't beat yourself up just get back up and go again! Just remember not to give in to those temptations a few minutes of enjoyment can cost you weeks or months of discouragement and disappointment but like I said don't be sooo hard on yourself your human there's gonna be good days and bad just try to make sure the good outweighs the bad!! 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.
