I am in the same boat as you. I start my 2 week liquid diet next friday. It's gonna be hard but it will be worth it in the end. I heard the 1st 3 days are the hardest and to definitely keep a timer going every 3 hours. Good luck to you!

Okay - today is the first day.... Hasn't been super bad! Had an Optifast bar and one shake so far. Don't want to eat too much of my daily allowance early in the day and suffer tonight! Defiantly going to stop and get some broth on the way home though I think that will take some of the edge off! Hope everyone is doing okay!

Okay - Update- Day four not physically hungry too much. Tummy was growling a little last night but not overwhelming. It is definitely mental training! Weird not eating... Have to have control!

You'll get through it just as the rest of us did. You'll do it a fews days and probably get used to it & it will all be good. This is what you'll have to do for a period of time post op anyway so you might as well get used to it.

I'm about 8 weeks post op, and don't mind the days where I choose to do liquids for more than one meal. Honestly sometimes it's just easier that way. Good luck to you.

Cindyw41 what kind fitbit do u have what model IjusT bought fitbit charge not sure how use wounder if I can set alarm to go off so I can get in my Protein n Water

. Sorry that I just saw this. I have the charge. You can set the alarm to go off whenever and how often you like. From the App select the right arrow at the top where it says "charge" go down to silent alarms. You have to set each alarm separately. Then select everyday.

Your right about Optifast it isn't very filling but once you get into the routine, what you thought you couldn't do, you WILL do because you have to. Their also right about the first 3 days bring the worst. I'm on Day 4 and each day it got easier. good luck

      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.
