Yes. I started mine today. I'm just trying to get through the day. If I can make it through the first few days I know it will be a breeze.

Are you doing a liquid pre-op diet also? I am on day 3 and I am doing ok, I am craving cheese today. I love cheese, so I am not surprised. Can't wait for the 6th!!

I have 11 days left. I am on day 3 and I seem to be doing ok. I am craving some cheese today. It's really hard to find things besides broth/jello/protein shakes/popsicles. The only savory thing I have found is a cream of chicken Lipton packet that you mix with Water. I really like it, but no Protein value in it at all :(

Not that I'm aware of. It didn't show up in my feed when I created it anyways.

Keep pushing!!! No broths usually have any Protein value.

      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.
