I totally know how you feel but hang in there - you've come this far. You'll get to continue on all your favorite liquids for a while after surgery too - yum. But it gets better. Eventually you'll be able to eat whatever you want. This is just temporary. No pain, no loss.

Hang in there, it's short lived, then you'll be on the losing side and things start to get easier.

I start my 2-weeks pre op liquid diet January 30th. I know it's not as easy as it sounds but I'm planning on being busy those 2 weeks to keep my mind off food. Hang in there! Short pain/sacrifice for a life changing result.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

      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.
