Luckily, I didn't have to throw out temptations...The premiere Protein shakes....almost suppress my hungee...which is awesome!..I went to brunch yesterday with my friends and had a side salad (light dressing) and a fruit cup and my Protein Shake on ice. I watched them eat..and never felt tempted! Thank you God for my strength & determination!

On day 3 now and it's a little better. Just get used to being hungry and have the focus on the "final prize". Good luck everyone!

I'm on day two and am already tired of the sweet Protein shakes. 3/15 needs to hurry up!!

How many days do you have to do it? Im on day 4 with 2 left. I . know the pain. I am not saying its the thing to do but I actually chewed on a cucumber, piece of chicken & piece of steak. With each I counted 25 chews then spit it out. It took that nasty Protein Shake taste out of my mouth and I didnt swallow it. AGAIN not that it is the thing to do but its all I had

its hard I know it is. Stay strong. Try and find what works for you. I am not a sweet eater at all so the shakes are hard for me. The broth helps. I also saw someone post they used egg drop Soup and drained it and miso soup. I did that with Ramen I just didnt use the noodles. I thought my struggle would be wine. We drink wine with dinner everynight and I have been 100% ok with not having that. The reality hit me in the face it is my food that I struggle with. Also SF Jello helps. Sorry I am not much help I am new to all of this too. Youve got this you can do it.

No, you've been very helpful!! I plan to take full advantage of the SF popsicles and Jello. I didn't think about using the ramen flavor packs. I'll have to try that out again! Everything I've read says the first few days are the hardest so if I can just make it past those and think about why I'm doing this I'll be fine! Thanks again! And good luck with your journey as well!

      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.
