not being myself lately. 24th day on liquids and tired of others eating around me. No support in the household. My mother who also lives here with me suffers from mental illness that she’s not treating and I’m at my whits end. Just venting 😭

Bless your heart.

I know how difficult it can be in regards to living with someone who is not treating their mental illness. My son is 26, lives with me and my husband, he is schizophrenic and refuses to take his meds. So stressful, to say the least. Big hugs your way.

So sorry that you don't have support, that must be difficult. Twenty-four days of liquids is no picnic.

You are doing great by following your plan, keep up the hard work in the midst of a situation that is far from easy.

Keep your chin up, you can do it!

      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.
