Thank God no, I would be all kinds of frustrated. Hang in there...it will get better.

Hang in there. I too was very hungry...like stomach growling hungry. I was super tired also. Also, I had a major case of diet brain. About day 4, I felt much better. Lots of energy and not so hungry. But the diet brain has stuck around, unfortunately! It will get better soon. :)

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and it is horrible. I am weak, tired, have a bad headache and starving. I am also at work. I was supposed to work tomorrow but my boss is letting today be my last. Surgery is monday, i am nervous and excited. More ready to just get this over. Im located in Michigan.

Two more days until my sleeve surgery! I am excited & kind of freaking out lol! I always over do it, but between packing for the hospital, packing my kids stuff for their Nana's house, getting everything situated to take my four dogs to the Kennel, making sure my house is spotless ( because I am a control freak lol) and just mentally preparing I am getting anxious. I will have plenty of time to do it all I'm sure, but I always try to do more then what is needed. It drives my husband nuts when we are going on a trip, but I don't know how to turn it off! Lol! Being over prepared is what me feel in control & at ease.

Not supposed to be fun it's detoxing the fat of your liver. Life will not be fun in the next month or so. Sorry

They told me yesterday to bathe in dial soap up to two days before surgery and the morning of. She said no perfumes and stuff. My question is this. Does that mean deodorant, face cream, Shampoo, and chipped toe nail polish? She talked fast lol

I had to wash with Hibacleanse tonight, which I did and again in the morning before heading in for my surgery.

It's to make sure there's no lotions, powders, etc or excess oils on your skin.

Im on day 9 of my preop diet and I have only lost 3 pounds. :( I have not cheated. Yesterday I went to my preop appt and was told that according to my tests, my liver was a normal size, meaning its not enlarged. I wonder if that is why im not losing much?

      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.
