I am on day 3 of my pre op clear liquid diet and i have to admit today has been the easier of them so far....definitly not EASY but totally worth it and its true that it does get easier. Day 1 i was dying lol i was wishing i had one more day to eay whatever I wanted but that of course got me to where i am now. I agree the popsicles really do help and i go to bed early just so i dont crack at night. I have a 3 year old and making her food at first was hard but today has been so much better!! Can not wait for Thursday morning to get my sleeve done.

I'm on Day 1 of my pre-op and I'm beyond hangry. I don't want this broth, I don't want these people bothering me, I just want to throw a tantrum and then eat a pound of food.

I know it will pass, but good LORD this is the worst.

How did you deal with being hangry?

It really helped me to eat icepops cause I could eat them slow. I always had a large cup with ice Water or diet green tea.

The first few days are the hardest. This liquid diet will help to make sure your surgery is safe and get you started on the right path. Resist the urge to cheat. It will only make the pain worse.

      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.
