I am on day 3 out of 12 on my pre-op diet. 4 Protein shakes or bars a day plus one high protein/low carb meal.

I really struggled yesterday with feeling SO HUNGRY... but today I'm feeling more confident. I think a lot of my anxiety on this diet is caused by me being so used to eating and snacking on things that taste a certain way.

The shakes and bars are NOT tasty... in fact, they are kind of gross. But they DO make me feel full... so I'm trying to get used to the fact that if I'm feeling full and craving other stuff at the same time, it's really not HUNGER... it's HEAD hunger and it's essential that I train my body to deal with it better.

I've just finished day 6 of the liquid diet. I've lost 15lbs since the 1st of the year. I knew I would have to do the liquid for 2 weeks so I started preparing myself the 1st so I cut out sugar and tea (I'm from the south so sweet tea is a staple). I think that has helped me with the liquid diet. I've taken my shakes out for pizza with my family and didn't even cheat with 1 bite. I've been fine so far and I truly hope I can stay this strong for the remainder of my 2 weeks.

I will say I had green tea (hot) tonight and was surprised at how full and satisfied it made me feel. I've had clear Soup from Japanese restaurants which I love! And I've made homemade bone broth. First time I tried it I love it but 2nd time was gross. I'm going to keep trying because it's got to be better for you than canned broth.

I started my four shake/1 "reasonable" meal diet today. Surgery is the 30th. I'm so crabby! I am trying to knock it off and not think about all the stuff I won't be having and think about how GOOD I am going to feel. I think after a couple days once the sugars get out of my system I will be okay. Good luck to all of you... we can totally do this!

Just look on the bright side you get one meal a day. That's better than a lot of us have. , but I hear it gets better after. Like day 3 so hold in there you can do it

      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.
