I am on day 8 and its hard but I know what i want. I still need 6 days to go more than half way there. I just finished cooking some fajita for my husband and enjoyed the aroma but didn't even think twice about not eating it. It is only 2 weeks and it can be done. You can do it too. I found some good products and make fixing my liquids fun. I bought new measuring cups 2oz each in different colors and pretty mugs for my Protein shakes. I get on this forum and read the posts. Stay busy. Focus on the reason why your doing the diet. Good Luck

What about a naked photo of my husband instead? (No reason why...) ????

I hadn't thought about a naked pic, but I do look at myself naked in the mirror every morning and that is one daily motivator right there lol.

On a smaller scale, today marks 8 days pre-op diet with 12 to go. I have found that chewing bubble gum here and there helps to alleviate some of the psychological feelings of wanting to bite into something. It really has helped me.

I did 4 weeks because I was such a fat bastard..

And it SUUUUUUCKED!!!

The only way I got thru it was to keep reminding myself that I'd come too far (a couple of hiccups and false starts) to give up now..

Just keep it in the front of your mind that what you're doing is life changing in alllll the right ways...

And if it helps, look at @@Elode's naked pic!!!

Just finishing day two. Had a massive Migraine today - perhaps because of no caffeine? It was hard cooking dinner for my husband and kids and not being able to eat any ???? but apart from that I went okay. Twelve days to go ...

      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.
