Ok, I'm 4 days in on my liquid diet ( which sucks!) My stomach for the most part has quit hurting like it did the first few days, but now I'm finding myself truly tempted and hungry. I'm drinking tons of Fluid and sugar free Jello and broth. Question is, is there anything else I can gave to satisfy my hunger??

It really depends on your doctor's plan. I'm 4 days post surgery as well and my "full liquid" diet allows Greek yogurt, pudding and cream of wheat. The thicker textures of those foods is more satisfying than just drinking Protein Shakes. The Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt brand is quite thick and has 15g of Protein. I made cream of wheat today with a little Splenda and cinnamon and it was delicious. Like a slightly thinner version of oatmeal. You can also mix protein powders in with cream of wheat for more protein and different flavors.

It really depends on your program. Were you given written instructions?

My doctor said I could have 2 servings of fruit a day and I get 4 meal passes during the 2 weeks. Meals are supposed to be grilled chicken and vegetables but hey, that is much better than nothing!!

Are you having Protein shakes? This will help with the hunger. I had to have 3-5 a day

I'm 4 days out too... Only allowed liquids and Protein drinks for 2 weeks. Asked my NUT this morning about chicken broth and she said be careful because of the sodium.

I tried my best on the liquid dit but I must admit I ended up cheating quite a bit. Only on high Protein low carb stuff though to keep my body in ketosis. Still lost like ten pounds and my surgury went fantastic

I'd have skipped the fruit entirely during my 14 day liquid pre-op diet. It would have made me more hungry afterwards.

My liquid 14 day consisted of 3-4 Protein shakes per day. That and any non-calorie drink I wanted.

I chose Pure Protein brand pre-mixed shakes as they were really thick and seemed to hold me over for longer periods.

You are already 5 days into it.....keep on and keep after it. It will pass soon.

My preop diet was Optifast. So Optifast X 3 plus two serves of specific vegetables and 1tsp olive oil.

The best thing was that the Optifast came in shakes, Soup and bars.

I was told 2 weeks of liquid diet. About day 6, I had Greek yogurt watered down with almond milk (unsweetened). I followed that with shaved turkey and very thinly sliced deli ham. Those two things saved me mentally. I was becoming very depressed and mentally having a hard time. Once I put those two things in my face, that ended and I started to regain some energy.

      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.
