Hang in there. The first 4 days are the worst, but it gets so much easier after that. Keep plugging away and take it day by day.

I'm on day 6 of 14. It is still tough but getting through it.
Water...drink Water when you find yourself having a headache.
Warm items help me feel more satisfied. Soups and high Protein hot chocolate are my favorites.
Add ice in a blender with your shakes...it gives them a little bulk and there are small bits of ice you can chew!
I add benefiber to one or two of my shakes each day to help keep things moving.
I get up every 2 hours (sometimes less) to use the bathroom. I've lost about 7lbs since I started and I'm sure a lot of that is water!
I'm trying a new recipe every day for shakes and soups. So while I'm having 2 chocolate Premier Protein shakes a day, the third one is usually something different. (My plan is 3 shakes and 3 protein liquid foods per day).
I keep trying different yogurts but so far haven't found one I like.
I keep telling myself better liver better surgery. I repeat that every time I see a food commercial or someone offers me something and I have to resist.

      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.
