Man! This liquid diet gets old! I'm 11 days PO and I've never wanted an egg so badly in my life! I'm dreaming about them! I'm SO thankful I'm not hungry but I still want and crave everything! Praying it calms down once I'm allowed soft foods.

My plan is...

1-3weeks PO / liquids

4-6 weeks PO / soft foods

7th week reg diet

liquid diet is hard, but for some people it gets easier, and it can be good to have some liquid Protein options available to fall back on later (I know that seems unimaginable now!!). One thing I did to make it a little more fun - and I was surprised how much this worked - was to set up a little bar on my kitchen counter.

I keep flavored and unflavored powders there, and a row of sugar-free flavor syrups. I know it sounds super lame but it actually makes the whole thing much less tedious! Here's my setup: post-297549-14735078946688_thumb.jpg

That's funny all I wanted was an egg too. I asked my doctor can I have just one. He said yes. I scrambled really light with nothing on it. Smashed as small as possible. It took 2 hours to eat it tho.I only ate half the one

Getting to soft foods makes all those weeks of liquids a distant memory! Hang in there, you can do this.

      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.
