it really worked for me. I am 13 years out and had never had a regain until my sister died last year. I gained 20 lbs and wanted to stop the gain before it got too much to handle. I used it just before thanksgiving. I did the 5 days and then went back to the basics of 64 oz Water ( or Decaf tea or crystal light) no drinking 30min before during or 30 min after. 65-80 grams Protein 30=45 grams carbs and no sugar or flour. I have lost 18 lbs over the holidays with Christmas day and new years day off ( I ate what all the family ate just tiny portions.) I love love love potatoes so allow myself a pot ( 2 fingerlings or tiny reds or a half a small sweet pot) twice per week. I don't do bread or Pasta or rice as I have not found a substitute I think tastes good. I am back to food rather than shakes except when I am traveling and cant stop long or find a place where I can eat. I have about 6 or 7 fast food places where I know I can get a good healthy meal ( most will give you the meat and no the bread) any restaurant will do as I know what I can select and do fine with at least two portions and sometimes three to bring home. I hope this helps you best of luck

      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.
