Day 4 is in the bag! This has been much easier than I anticipated. Probably because I already have little appetite. One thing it has helped to point out is definitively identifying head hunger.

One more day!

I had a horrible eating day and want to get back on track so I'm in to start this challenge tomorrow. I was going to start out with 3 days and then see if I want to do the full 5.

@@Rebeccaabrooks86 Three days is good too. It doesn't take much. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. The best part is not being made to do it for two weeks like pre-op!

Just saw this -- I've been debating a 5-day challenge. I will take the leap and do it. Like you said, we did it for two weeks, so 5 days should be a piece of cake :)

I'll be on my own but am committing here and now.

Let us know your results! You are soooo close to goal!

I made it - just one more shake and 32 oz. of Water to get down before 8 pm (5 hours) tonight and I'll call it a success. I know I've lost at least a couple pounds, so I'm thrilled. I "officially" weigh myself Saturday morning. Might do this again next week, starting Monday. Certainly takes the thinking out of eating and food preparation. ;-)

ETA: Made it! Five days done. Can't wait for our weekly Breakfast out tomorrow. Imagine I'll be able to eat even less than usual, but hope it tastes divine. :)

I'm still doing shakes and then a Protein dinner. My throat has been hurting a bit so I may just do shakes tomorrow because of that.

That's great!!! What does your typical day look like liquid wise while on liquids only?

I have 3 Premier Protein shakes. one for Breakfast, one for lunch, one for dinner. If I get hungry between meals, I will have broth or sf Popsicle. I drink lots of Water, as well. It's the preop liquid diet that I followed. Except in preop I was supposed to have 4 shakes, but I worried that 120 gms of Protein might be too much.

I had three Premier Protein shakes (breakfast, lunch, dinner) daily. If I was hungry or wanted something savory I'd make broth from a bullion cube (beef or chicken), but limited those to twice a day at most due to the sodium content. I liked to have hot tea sometimes. And 64 oz. of Water above and beyond the Water with the broth/shakes/tea.

So I haven't stuck completely to the liquid diet. I have been doing liquids during the day, then have a thick Soup with Protein in it for dinner. Lost 4 1/2 lbs this past week...hoping after thanksgiving I can stick to strictly liquids for a few days...not having something to chew is difficult!! Lol

I didn't stick to this challenge last time but due to the holidays I've been really going at the carbs so I'm going to give it another shot. I'm aiming for 4 days of just shakes. We'll see how it goes....

      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.
