Started liquid diet today. I am noticing how many food commercials there are, even on the radio! Wow!

I am super excited, surgery on July 17th! Does anyone know how much weight I should expect to lose on the pre op liquid?

Mine is the 18th and I'll be half way through tomorrow with the diet. Those that have been on it a few days, do you feel like you've lost any weight? I can't tell... getting in between 640-700 calories on this diet. I told my sleeve buddy how much I've been daydreaming about the puréed phase lol.

I'm sorry to repost your adorable photo, it just came up. I'm the 19th so I'm right there with you!

I am finding that this starvation diet (for me) has caused about a lb loss a day. Not worth it, it isn't pleasant to be starving for 5 hours all afternoon. But as long as it shrinks my liver for a successful surgery, I'm all for this pre op diet.

It is difficult to feed my big family and not eat or taste, but I'm doing it. Tonight they enjoyed corn on the cob steamed and brushed with butter. But you know what? Weight loss and health is going to feel much better than corn tastes!

      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.
