Hot things helped me survive my 10 days. Hot herbal tea, cream of chicken, cream of Tomato, cream of mushroom (strained of solids) made with Fair Life Skim Milk. Cream of Wheat thinned, hot broth.

I experienced liquid diet hunger towards the end. Once you get to solid foods it;s so much better! Hang in there! You got this :)

Definitely don't eat anything you're not cleared for.

Try mixing it up.. I was so sick of sweet stuff, I had some chicken bouillon with Protein powder (mix up the Protein Powder with warm Water, then mix that with the hot Water and bouillon) and that was heaven.

I also did better with the clear Protein drinks frozen into ice pops.

Just keep plugging away, focus on fluids first, then Protein, and you'll get through it. It gets better!

The phase you're in was one of the hardest for me.

Consider changing your state. I'm not suggesting you move out of your house. :-) What I mean is that when you're thinking about food, recognize it, and purposely start doing something else. Just about anything else. Take a walk, read a book, do your favorite hobby, contribute here, etc. Talk with other people. Tell them what you're going through. Ask for help. You can do this!

2 words...bone broth. If you can't make your own, Walmart carries the Sam's Choice brand. It's liquid, but it just tastes so much better than plain broth.< /p>

      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.
