You will see great results from adhering to the liquid diet as you are starting to see these first 7 days.

You'll find your stride in it and be a trooper.

Most all of us have been through it and fully understand where you are.

It gets much easier !!!!

I have been doing it since January 1st.

Go to the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury site and find their high Protein jell-o recipe. It's great!

Also drink broth if needed...great for savory flavor and only about 15 calories per 8oz

Good luck! You can do this its all mind over matter

My surgeon doesn't have me on a liquid diet pre-op except for the day before surgery. Is that unusual? I feel like it is based on what I've been seeing on this forum. Not that I'm complaining! I'm going under next Thursday the 28th and happy to NOT be on liquids before I absolutely HAVE 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.
