I'm so afraid v to start next Tuesday....that naming hunger. But you have to do it and I will. Try some hot clear Soup. I bought BARIATRIC souped on Amazon that have Protein in them....hopefully they fill a person up. Maybe you could buy some. Good luck! PS I'll know next week.

Im 3 months post op. Those 2 weeks KILLED. Try to power through. I was able to have a small Protein meal once a day. I would have some baked or seared or grilled chicken at night when my hunger was its worst and i felt sick and weak. If that's not an option try to fill up as best you can on shakes Jello and Soup. Any time i felt hungry id drink something really fast and it would buy me some time til the hunger came back. Not going to lie. I cheated a bit. But i made sure i didn't eat anything at least 3 days prior to the surgery. My surgeon said it was ok so long as i didn't eat 24 hrs before but i just wanted to better prepare myself.

I can relate! We have had doughnuts at the office the past 3 days....torture! I rode to the grocery store tonight with a friend but wouldn't go inside. I told her if I did they would call in for a psych transport for the crazy lady sitting on the floor on aisle 6 with her hand scooping out Peanut Butter...chicken leg in the other....crackers and Cookies spread all around!

My 2-weeks pre op liquid diet starts January 30th. You can ask your nutritionist, but mine said in our class that we can eat steamed green vegetables like celery, lettuce, etc... but when we chew it, it has to be almost liquid consistency. But that's last resort if we're too hungry after shakes & Clear Liquids. I'm planning on staying as busy as I can those two weeks just so I don't think about food. I know it'll be tough but we can do it!! Hang in there.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

My profile picture is not me. It's my "FitSpiration" body.

      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.
