Get busy doing something else. Change your daily routine. And drink Water or zero cal drinks. Need to occupy your mind. Only 2 days that awesome - norm it’s 2 weeks. And you will be recouping after surgery so maybe not be as hungry for a while. But You must do this so you don’t hurt your tummy after. Think positive and if can get some one to talk to or hang out with - get them. Good luck 🍀!!

Thanks y'all. Yes I am lucky. My insurance wouldn't cover surgery. So I am self pay. I think that makes the difference in the pre-op diet. I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off "food." But the hunger pain are pretty bad right not lol. I might go to bed early and sleep through it 🤪. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

I am self pay as well. The pre op diet length really depends on your BMI. Those of us with higher BMI's have fatty livers. and thats the whole point of the pre op diet is to shrink that liver. Your BMI of 35 is lower than most so you are lucky.

it's not hard after surgery. Most of us lose our sense of hunger for awhile after surgery (it eventually comes back for most of us, though...)

You are probably correct on the BMI. Yes mine is lower then most. I do have fatty liver but it's not extremely high levels.

      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.
