I feel like I could eat my neighbors!! I was fine until today. I'm sure it's psychological. On Friday nights we usually go out to dinner and tonight that can't happen. Although I've been preparing for these days by minimizing my food intake and managing to lose 19lbs before my pre op. It's still hard. Or shall I say torture. Need to up in some Water and have some more yummy broth. Lol. Anyone have any helpful hints besides telling me it'll be worth it?

Can you eat Jello? They say that keeps you full longer. It's hard and you are doing amazing! Hang in there!

Yes I have can. I just feel like I'm not getting enough in. And I'm not because it's all gross. Lol

Today i guess is day 4 for you, but this is day one and im like OMG the shake is yucky and im going to have to do this diet for 1wk pre-op and 2wks after surgery. Re-training my brain i can see will be a work in progress. I took a route today while driving that would have normally been a pick-me up brunch at Dunkin Donuts, but then I realized - uh you are on a diet -hello - geez this wont' be easy - surgery date is June 29. :unsure:

i am July 1. And it's going to be a journey. This morning my family went to Breakfast and I chose to stay. I'm just not mentally able to not eat something. The shake was good and I had lots of Water. It is getting easier.

      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.
