I'm not a big hamburger lover, but I had to get dinner for my daughter. I watched her eat every bit of that hamburger. I started have images of food pop into my mind. I try not to think about it, but it's hard. I worry less about what it will be like after the surgery. Right now, I could eat anything, but after surgery I'll get full too fast. Good luck.

My first three days were miserable, but I'm on day four and I'm doing so much better. You'll make it. I slept when I could, and I ate sugar free Jello. I feel like things got a lot easier today.

Lucky . My hunger is gone but I'm having the worst gas and keep having to go to the bathroom .

If you're really hungry, stay away from the cold stuff and try warm liquids like broth or even drink Water at room temp. It will help you to feel more satisfied. Trust me, I'm on day 8 and am becoming a pro! LOL

I'm on day 4 of my 3 week liquid diet and I go to bed and wake up with a headache. I also have low energy. Today I ate Soup and watermelon because I thought I was going to pass out. My goal is to try harder and harder each day to adhere to the diet

This could be from dehydration. Be sure to drink fluids before bed. Hang in there!

First day and one shake down and so far so good. My nutritionist said I could mix the Protein powder with light almond silk. I have chocolate powder and the shake doesn't taste bad at all. Not really feeling hungry yet. We'll see where we are at in two weeks.

What Protein Shakes are you guys using?

So, I am on Day 2 of liquid diet and I agree there are lots of diets that are tailored to the individual, the surgery, and the physician preferences. I am using 4 shakes and 2 bars along w/one banana and lots of liquids. I have option of up to 3 jello/pops, sugar free.

It is not great, but I think because i was weaning myself from caffeine slowly, at least bringing it down a lot over the last few months, I have not (yet at least) had headaches, and I have not had low energy. In fact, I feel full and like i am constantly drinking fluids and going to restroom.

I would say the hardest part was being home where there is more food around unlike at work, and TV (food is everywhere!).

It has helped to jump over to the post-op discussions, or the before/after photos and articles. The pre-op diet is important, and I went through many months of classes and health care appointments to get cleared, I can't mess up these last two weeks!

Plus, on bright side, this is better than the immediate post-surgery 1st week, right!?

I am using the Bariatric Advantage shakes. They are fine. I was surprised actually I was planning on them being really awful.

I would say that the tablet chew-able Vitamins from this brand are awful, horrible -- chalky and terrible flavor.

      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.
