Im glad im not the only one! Seems like people on here are progressing faster than my surgeon recommended for me and its depressing lol and I feel your pain. I started liquids on July 17th, Surgery on July 31st and cant start pureed foods until August 21st.... 5 weeks of boring liquids. We just gotta keep chugging along and I know itll be worth it!

I'm 5 days post op 8/2 and have been on a liquid diet since 8/1 and now until 8/23 I had a meltdown earlier thinking I made a terrible mistake that I just want to eat and not drink something I hope as more days pass it gets easier

Hello all I'm 5 days post op today. Surgery date was 8/3. I've lost 15 pounds since my surgery. The clear liquid diet is getting old for me. I'm ready to move on. I can't start the full liquid diet until the 17th. How are the rest of you all handling the liquid diets?

      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.
