I worry about that too but then I remind myself why I am going to do it (not until April). When you see what is on the other side of those two weeks, it seems a lot easier to stick to.

Christmas is behind you as far as food goes so that makes it easier. You people that did it though those 2 days are rockstars!!!!

I felt like my 14 day liquid diet was much easier. I started on dec 5. It was a different mindset. 14 days so there is an end. I’m having surgery so I NEED to do this. I didn’t have to deal with Portion Control or if I should count that cookie as points. It was just a black and white yes or no of what I could eat. It actually went fast for me! Good luck.

I am doing ok with it. I still set down with the family for meals. Tonight I put my Protein Shake blended with ice, into a bowl with a spoon. It felt more like a was having a meal with them. My daughter thought it looked so good she had to try it. She said it needs spray whipped cream on top and she would be jealous because she wasn't eating that instead. Lol. This morning I was trying to figure out a cream for my hot tea. I think it is just the color change in my head. . I ended up putting a little of my vanilla Protein Drink in it. O'my, it tastes just like it used to when I would put french vanilla cream in it. I am having a hard time with the Protein Drinks. I get something like a dumping syndrome every time I drink one. Not sure why it's doing this. I have not had dumping syndrome except when I eat spinache or rice since the first surgery in 2007.

      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.
