Roseluv3 how are you doing with your liquids? I am on day 6 and everyone is still alive here, it did get better at the end of day 33 and day 4 got a lot better. Iam very tired of shakes all ready I am getting like in but lord they are not wonderful...but iam doing them and yes the unjury chicken Soup is such a good one to switch up all the sweet with!

Good luck everyone!!!!

Hey! I'm doing good....I'm on day 8 (omg). I've been doing okay....some days are better than other. I feel like once 5 pm hits that's when I'm super hungry, I think that's because I'm making dinner for my family. I'm drinking broth as my afternoon snack or after my last Protein shake dinner. Yeah the Protein Shakes can be tough (I've been using Bariatric fusion per my surgeons suggestion) to get down. Im used to like mixing mine with spinach or a banana but I can't with this phase. I did order some Torani sugar free syrups that I will be adding to my Protein Shakes to hopefully make they taste better. ????

I'm on day 6 now. I really haven't been ravenous hungry, but have had the usual hunger, and it's been easier than I thought up to now. I wanted to know if anyone has had bloating and some mild pain below belly button. Last night and today, I have had those symptoms, and was wondering if this was just a little bump.

Hi everyone!!! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing! I'm on day 9 of my 14 day liquid diet. It's been tough but it's been going. I've "survived" going to parties, out with friends, and my daily family life. I've been having 3 Protein Shakes a day, 2-4 cups of broth a day, and 2 sugar free popsicles a day or sugar free Jello. I am very excited and anxious for my surgery on the 29th! Hope you are all doing well ????

Today is my last day! I'm only allowed Clear Liquids today--no Protein Shakes. Woke up with a major headache and nausea which certainly curbed my appetite. Now I'm starting to feel hungry but just keep sipping. I just have to get through it today!! Surgery tomorrow morning!

Day one and I would have to say it's been "the best of times and the worst of times!"

Tired, and weepy one second then the next, talking a mile a minute!

It's really made me realize that I have a bad attachment to food. Only on day one and so much inner drama.

But no matter how hard, I'm glad to make the journey and hopefully find a new me and a new, better, relationship with food at the other end.

Good luck to everyone...and as someone in one of the earlier posts said, "dream the dream"....and I'll add...."till it's reality!"

on day 8 ... last night was the toughest ever! its better today, I am just sticking to it? At least the days seems to be going by pretty fast.

I was staring in the pantry last night, thinking oh lord I want something, then I would go find something to do and then my head would tell me "its time to eat" and I was just going around and around last night. Its in my head, I wasn't starving, I just wanted to chew something! the head hunger can be bad, but I am not hungry, I think if I had something besides liquids it would be better of course. But only a few more days and surgery will be here. I keep telling myself I made it this far!

Good luck everyone ... Keep it up!

      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.
