Yesterday was day 2 for me and it was awful. But I didn't wake up hungry this morning. Just had a glass of Water and I don't feel queasy or like I'm starving.

Hoping this day is better for us all.

My dietician didn't say anything about broths, Popsicles or jello! I get 4 high Protein ensure & 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and calorie free beverages - Water, tea, coffee. That's it. Those other things would really help. I made it through yesterday but the evening was rough. Tummy is quite noisy this morning lol!

Day 2 was a toughie - definitely got hungry/woozy in the evening. I just went for a walk, though, to distract myself.

I think the more Water I drink, the better I feel. And I swear nothing has tasted better than veggie broth these past two days!

We can do it!

I'm on my 3rd day preop. First day I cry, shaking, cold, and vomiting. I was miserable. Day 2 was better, day 3 my little dizzy but keeping positive. I can only have 3 shakes a day, and sugar free jello-o, some broth. The worst part is making dinner and school lunch for my family. It's a torture. But we can do this. I'm taking some time to rest, and sleep also, so my body can rest from the food withdrawal!

Day three has been good. Much different than the last two days. I'm feeling good and while a little hungry, I'm not "starving".

I made my husband some mushroom bites and pepper poppers. I ate one mushroom bit and now feel nauseous. Blah.

I can't believe I've lasted 3 days! Thank God for broth, it's the most filling and curbs my appetite the best.

But, yeah, this is definitely a test of will and discipline.

Day two has been tough for me too. Ready for bed! I did have a sugar free Jello which was amazing lol. My hubby made mac n cheese for him and our girls (I hate Mac n cheese). I so wanted to sneak a spoon full!

I'm on day 10! My surgery is Monday the 9th the 4th day the hunger pains went away. The 8th day was horrible for me I don't think I got enough liquids in and I had a horrible Migraine and vomiting. But I've only lost 6 pounds. So far how much has everyone else lost? But I guess if it was easy to lose weight I wouldn't need the surgery.

      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.
