Today is the official start of my liquid diet. I already drank 2 shakes, I got 3 more to go. I'm trying not to think about food. I'm drinking Water to satisfy some of the hunger and keeping very busy. I'm not going to worry, I got this. WE ALL GOT THIS!!!

The first three days are the worst, but I promise it gets better! I was hungry & grumpy. I had to leave the room a few times when my husband & kids were eating, but your hunger gets less and less especially if you are drinking enough fluids. My liver shrinking diet was ordered for two weeks and I have just a few days left! My surgery is Thursday. Good luck & you can do it!

      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.
