Thank you that's very helpful advice. Is it ok to have an extra shake or bar if I'm struggling? I wasn't sure if that was just as bad.

It really is important for you to stick to the preop diet plan. Try cutting your shakes with Water so they go further and fill you up more. Drink more broth. When you have the Vegemite craving, tell yourself, "I can't have that now, but I will have it later." And you will - once you get to that stage post op. Pre-op can be hard, but this time truly will pass. You just have to hang in there. Get rid of anything in the house that is going to tempt you - like the Vegemite.

I hear alot about broth. I haven't been told by my surgeon anything about broth. Is broth like chicken stock? Like the Fluid part of Soup?

You could always put a teaspoon of vegemite (or marmite) in some hot Water and make your own broth to get that flavour.

Yes.... i lived on wonton Soup (with out the wontons)... just drank the broth. Some dr. allow egg drop soup. I also did other Soups and just strained out the big chunks so all i was left with was the broth (fluid).

Cheating is bad, but quitting all together is worse. Acknowledge your mistake and move on. Don't let a cheat meal be a cheat day. You already know where that is going to lead you. Dust yourself off and get back on track! You got this!!

I feel hungry all the time. Is it hunger or is it years of mental abuse on myself and I'm confusing the 2. I just keep trying to push through it looking towards the next meal break.

Drink lots of Water. Your body AND mind are still getting used to your new way of eating. No one said it would be easy, but hang in there!

      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.
