Pre-op diet does not look easy. I have to do Optifast for 2 weeks. Keep strong

Head hunger is much better! My stomach is very noisy but I don’t feel it like I did days 3-4.
I’m sooooo ready! If 16lbs makes me feel this great, I can’t imagine hitting goal!

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and I'm starving. I have not cheated but wanted too. I hope the starvation feeling goes away soon. Great job.

The hunger started tapering off after about 4 days or so. I had food dreams after 4 days but it was a lot more tolerable then. Drink lots of Water. Every time I think about cheating I tell myself I have to drink 24oz of water. By the time I’m done, I no longer have the urge. That or the urge is a lot less.

      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.
