Day Two of liquid diet, Surgery the 28th, Family ate normal food tonight, The smell... oh I was so starving so I opted to clean while they ate. Lol I had a smoothie King Protein Shake that was ok, my premiere shakes are way better, lol and cheaper. The Choc Gladiator with no fruit added is like 180 calories 0 carbs and 1 gram of sugar for 20 oz , FYI if your out and forgot your shake like I did...been off work 6 days, back at it tomorrow, which I am trying to plan ahead, I am a Trauma ICU nurse and coworkers always bring in bad food....

I am also getting sleeved on the 28th, just started liquid diet today. I had to cook for the rest of the family...pure torture! But I am ready, I just planned to cook things they like but I don't hoping that will make it easier. Good luck to you!

      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.
