What are you concerns? ....Yes, you will be hungry. Yes, you will probably get wicked headaches. Yes, you will be fatigued. Yes, the head hunger and cravings will be a bitch. Yes, it will be really hard and you may feel like you can't do it. BUT yes, you can do it...we all did. And yes, it is worth it. Those two weeks will soon be a distant memory and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. In the meantime, do a search for Protein Drinks on here and/or visit the nutrition subforum for tons of ideas of different shake ideas because you will be drinking a lot of them and you don't wanna get bored ????

I've decided to go for a practice run, I didn't want it to be a complete system shock when I start the official liver shrink on the 26th, the headaches are no joke. But glad to hear it gets better!!

I am on day 8 of the liquid pre op diet and it has gotten so much easier. I had two days of bad headaches but since then, other than being hungry and being sick of Jello, it is fine now. My surgery is one week from today and I have jumped through all the hoops and all there is to do now is show up the 19th at 7:00 am. Can't believe it is finally here!

      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.
