Today is day 3. I'm feeling better. As per my serve in I have to keep it struck with the 4 Bariatric fusion shakes a day and a half cup of non starchy vegetables once a day. My required Water intake is 60 ounces. I have met that or surpassed it. I can't stand the broth. I tried it last night..... I'm still taking it hour by hour but today is better than yesterday

Hi Kitty, you are doing great hang in there! I'm day 10 of the pre op shakes. First 4 days were the worst for me. I get through by avoiding food all together if people bring food near me I find a reason to leave the room. I'm on the Optifast and I have a shake for Breakfast & lunch, dinner is a shake or Optifast chocolate bar. I get by with diet cordial, sugar free lollies, sugar free jelly but only use them when I'm really struggling. My dietician said the best thing for me to stay on track... I ask what if you don't lose fat in the liver? She said if it really is too much liver fat the surgeon has chosen not to operate... that line replays in my head every time I even think about food! My surgery just got moved forward a day so I'm in on Thursday 10th Nov and counting down the days!!

I'm scheduled for surgery 11/9 and I'm on my Liver reduction diet. This is my second day and I am truly hungry. It's not head hunger! I'm having headaches and feel drained. I'm doing 4 Protein shakes a day and each of them are 27 grams of Protein. I'm also consuming a minimum of 60 ounces of Water. Why am I so hungry and how can I get rid of these headaches??? Please help I don't thinking I can last 10 days feeling this way.....

I hope you are doing better today. I am on my 2 day pre-op diet, and I am feeling very tired. Ugh. Come on 10 days. The broth with some seasoning really helped on day 1. Good luck to you.

Hello Jenny Yes I am doing so much better today. I'm feeling ok actually. I started weighing 323 on 10/30/16 and I am now at 313 as of today. I haven't even worked out! I only started taking the stairs at work. I encourage you to stick with it. I'm actually considering post poning my surgery to give myself 1 final try to do it on my own incorporating the new things I've learned from this journey. I'm not sure yet..... But hang in there!

I was drinking 4 of the Bariessentials shakes mixed with almond milk and I was so sick. My stomach was upset and my head hurt so bad. I talked to the PA at my surgeon's office and she said to go back to Premier Protein shakes. They really are the best, and I feel 100% better after switching back. I was also told to make sure I DON'T get the low sodium broth because the sodium is needed to stave off the headaches.

I really didn't mind the taste! And I liked that I could add powdered Peanut Butter and stuff to it to change the flavor up. It just didn't agree with me.

I was in the same boat with those. They didn't taste bad but my problem was the smell of the Protein Powder. It made me not want to drink them. I like the fact Premier Protein is already mixed so I don't have that issue.

      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.
