I don't recall being particularly hungry when I was in Clear Liquids, but, I was sipping my something all the time in order to get in all of my Protein and fluids, so really didn't have the chance to feel hungry.

Are you taking a PPI?

A PPI helps you with the acid in your stomach, sometimes the sensation it causes can be mistaken for hunger.

Talk to your surgeon. I was given a prescription for one right after surgery.

Based on the fact you said you are at work I think it is safe to say you have not had your surgery yet? This the preop diet before surgery you are speaking of? Correct? I have a 1 day clear liquid diet before surgery. Sorry I can't help you but maybe others will be able to.

      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.
