Bobbieswife and tagyourit - Hope both of you had good days today. Day 8 for me. I was thinking today about what will I be feeling like on the 4th of July. Hopefully less hungry!

@@j16 Me too!!!!! I told my husband yesterday that this would be much easier if my stomach wasn't always growling. I feel like I am over the mental hunger and am not having issues with choosing what to eat it is just that my stomach is always growling. Post Op at least that should be helped a bit. A little TMI but my liquid diet is making a lot of bathroom issues. Guess it is a sneak peak into the future "don't trust a fart" phase!

I started the pre-op diet on 5/23 for four weeks. Five shakes a day and 3 servings total of sugar free Jello, Popsicles or Water ice;64oz a day of Water which includes crystal light, Decaf coffee tea soda. I find it easy to stick with it because I don't have the guilt of worrying that I ate the wrong thing or had too much. I also keep telling myself that cheating on diets is what got me to this point! Hang in there it will be over before you know it. Good Luck.

How are my fellow Pre opers? I am still doing well with the plan but I have not lost any weight after the 5lbs mark. I don't know if it is just a stall (after a week?) or my body freaking out over the sudden decrease in carbs, cals and all that jazz. I am averaging 700-1000 cals a day and doing the shakes and full liquids (yogurt, SF pudding and Jellos, and soups) I am getting excited to be less than a week out though!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery on June 22nd. Today is day two of the liquid diet. So far not bad. My sugar dropped already so I have stopped taking some of my meds already. I have had a mild headache which they said was normal. I'm nervous and excited for this lifestyle change but I know its for the best.

Hey I hope it's getting better for you. I have energy but it is difficult. What kind of diet are you on? I weighed in this morning I was 13.5 lbs down in 5 days.

      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.
