2nd day of my two week pre-op liquid diet and I have absolutely no appetite. I made sure to cleanse my refrigerator of temptations, and purchased Protein, crystal light, Soups, ices and popsicles. Day one I had to drink a Protein shake at bedtime to meet my protein goals. Today, I have no appetite at all, not for contraband just nothing, drink my protein and had Soup for lunch just because I know I have too. I know day 2, is too early to make any kind of determination of how this will go. I am wondering if anyone else entered their pre-op phase with no appetite?

I cheated at the end of day 1 on mine. For the next 7 days I had zero appetite as well and found it very easy to stick to the plan.

I have not been hungry at all. I failed my 1st 2 days due to cravings that I didn't to control. My stomach hasn't been growling nor have I felt dizzy. Physically, the diet has not been hard. Mentally, however, is where I'm struggling. I have to get past the head hunger and cravings.

Day 1 I read a post on here asking which foods are missed the most. In hindsight, that move was a horrible decision. I made it though the entire day without any struggles, but after reading that post and all the responses around 10pm, I fell off the wagon and binged on a box of mac and cheese.

Day 2 Once again, I made it through the day without any hunger. When I got home, I watched TV and it seemed like every other commercial was about food. Over the course of 1 show, I saw 6 different pizza commercials. I ordered a pizza. I ate over half the pizza by myself.

Day 3 No hunger whatsoever. I was prepared when I sat down to watch my show. I had a 32 oz mixing bowl of chicken broth with a bunch of my favorite spices. I drank 1/4 of the broth and 16 oz of Water before sitting down at all. I drank the rest of the broth throughout the episode. I also had 2 sugar free popsicles. Every time a food commercial came on, I put the TV on mute and closed my eyes. I'd peek every so often to see if it went off.

Day 4 it's too early to tell since it's not even 1 yet. This morning I had a Protein Shake even though I wasn't hungry.

I had the hardest time drinking all 5 Protein Drinks I was supposed to have. But during day 4-5 I felt like I was gonna pass out. Good luck!

Today is day #7 for me and I too have had no appetite or maybe I should say hunger since I started my pre-op diet. I was so surprised, at first I thought it was mind-set but later I read about ketosis and that was really eye-opening. Whatever the reason I am grateful. Now 12 pounds down this morning, surgery this Monday.

      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.
