Just started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet and today was hard but I know that as I get through this weekend it will be a lot easier. When I get to go back to work I will be busy and have less head hunger (Or at least that is what I am hoping for LOL). I know I can do this as I am a rule follower especially when I know I have to answer for myself like I will when surgery day rolls around. I am wrapping my head around the changes more and more as I can as I know this is not a temporary change and I look forward to this awesome tool that I get to use. Just trying to write some things out to keep myself accountable and motivated. I know after will suck big time but I figure it will not suck any more than watching my boys do life. I am so excited to get in there and do life more and more and more with them. I am an active mom with my loves but the thought of things like going down the slide with them instead of waiting at the end for them because I am too big to fit. I will stop rambling but trying to keep those things in the front of my head to get through those hard times.

it gets easier and easier as the day goes by. I would recommend getting some Protein Water to help you tide over. One thing I did was have broth for both lunch and dinner and shakes in between to keep some kind of normalcy during the two weeks.

      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.
