I remember the day when I actually threatened my son-in-law a chain saw death if he ate my last SF popsicle! They, by far are what got me through. :)

I also made SF lemon Jello with cottage cheese on the bottom. I would serve it on a bed of lettuce. It was really good and fresh tasting.

You got through another day. You got this!!!!

Drink Crystal lite until your eyes float. That helps fill you up.

Good luck, Girl friend.

Mini Baby Bel cheese saved me. I would eat one or two a day when the hunger was bad. Hard boiled eggs also do wonders for a sweet tooth.

It was the hardest part of the whole journey for me! You are doing great, though! Occupy your mind with some inspiring before/after pictures or success stories! That will remind you the pain/discomfort now is So worth it!

You find them in the deli area next to the fancy cheese. They are small one ounce rounds of cheese that are individually encased in wax.

Stay the course......my 2 weeks was Protein shakes only.

I'm glad of that. It kept things very simple. Just 3-4 Premier Protein Shakes per day with all the Water and non calorie drink I wanted.

No actual food.

Being able to have any type of food would have made it more difficult, IMHO. It would have opened the door to temptation and then I'd have to be all about Portion Control and etc....during that phase.

You are in the toughest part. It's a test. Gut check time.

You can do it and do it well, too. Hang in there and stay on track.

You'll be so glad to have done so when you come home from your surgery and the weight loss numbers really begin to pile up. It's going to be so much fun for you. Hand in there......the couple weeks before were the toughest part for me.....and they really weren't all that tough once I stayed on my plan.

      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.
