I'm actually pretty good on the liquid/reduced calorie diet. I have 4 Protein shakes a day and can have sugar free Jello and certain vegetables. I started this on Monday last so it's almost a week and I can't say I'm starving or craving anything really. I was really weak on Tuesday with the drastic decrease in calories, but I sometimes don't even get all 4 pouches in.

But I am very low mobility now due to other illnesses unrelated to my weight so I don't move very much and don't use much energy. The hope is that after the weight loss, I'll be able to move more easily with less pain.

I can say it's more of a mind thing. I realize how much mindless eating I did! My hubby sits next to me watching tv and stuffs his face - oh he would hate me saying that lol - with Cookies or chips and what bothers me more is not that I can't have any but the amount he's eating! And that I used to eat that many too! PS - it did bother me the first 2 days, now I'm ok with it ;)

Good luck everyone!! Y'all can do this!! Have the final goal in mind!! :)

So I have my surgery on 12/29/2016 and I am in my 1000 calorie diet. The first 2 days I was like OMG I need a cheeseburger I am so hungry and then my husband was like can u pick me up some Burger King. I go there and yes I ate 1 nugget but I really wanted a cheeseburger. But I am hanging in there and getting ready for this 3 day liquid diet. That's what I am scared of, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it through these 3 days of liquids.< /p>

Chew on things you like just for taste an spit it out. Its gotten me through my last 1st week ugh.

Today is my last day of the liquid diet before I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow morning. Surgery is on Thursday morning at 7:30am! I'm so nervous. Liquids were so hard, and I cheated one meal for Christmas. Back at it today though.

I wish you the best. You will be fine...stop worrying.

      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.
