You got this, I was hoping that day 4 would be easier for you! my husband keeps saying it will all be worth it... lol I know he is right but at the moment I am just going day by day! I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know?

Thanks, paddyski, I need the encouragement:) This is just kicking my bum big time-I don't have much energy, the shakes (I have to use New Direction) are causing fun gastro issues for me, and I want something other than the shakes, broth, and Jello. Everyone says week 2 is better so I am hoping that's true for me too:unsure:

I'm having my surgery 11/8 and just started the pre-op diet today. I feel like this is going to be the slowest 2 weeks of my life. I still feel so intimidated by this pre-op diet but I know how important it is.

Same! My surgery date is 11/5. I started my pre-op diet today also. Feels impossible at this point! But I am hoping the next 10 days fly by! What is your pre-op diet? Mine is 4 shakes per day and I am also allowed to have up to 2 cups of non-starch vegetables. (just finished some cucumbers!). Good luck!

It's so sad! I'm craving vegetables because I can't have them! I'm so jealous! I never thought that I would ever crave veggies in my life:)

I am the same. I don't feel hungry really. But I do have a headache and just not feeling great. And I am more tired then normal. But I think I was thinking it was going to be so terrible before I started, that so far it isn't as bad as I thought. Hopefully it keeps getting better and better each day and the next 10 days will go quickly! You also reminded me that I am allowed to have sugar free ice pops, so maybe I will have that as a 'treat' tonight :-)

      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.
