Julie: I was really feeling the same way about why did I did I have the band put in. I am still having diarrhea, only once a day now though. I guess this is just how my body is going to react to the liquid phase, I mean there is nothing solid to go in yet! It has slowed down though to once a day instead of all day! My energy was so bad for a few days my heart would race every time I even tried to walk across the room. It is still low but now it is getting somewhat better. I was able to go to the grocery store and buy a few things before I pooped out and had to go home and rest for a while. I think it must still be my body trying to heal from surgery and plus being on liquids is far too few calories, in my opinion. I have been doing everything I can during the liquid phase to boost up the calories so I feel better and it has helped a little bit. My scale has went crazy, which I am amazed at every day! I am down 12.5 lbs today in 10 days!! I guess we newbies are all on this roller coaster ride for a bit longer until we can get some real food into our bodies and then hopefully things will really improve!

      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.
