I am scheduled for February 20th and am 7 days into my 2 week liver shrinking diet and the first 3 days were awful and even more so because I have 3 kids and my wife that were eating there normal meals. Somewhere around day 4 or 5 it started getting easier as far as the feeling hungry and not sleeping well because of it. I just keep telling myself it's for my family and myself. My family has been awesome with reminding me very often of how proud they are.

Best of luck all you February peeps

Update: I am hungry. My husband just asked what’s the plan for dinner and I’m like … I’m not eating, so I’m not cooking. I bought options for people to choose to eat. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you pre or post op? I am 5 days post op, and not hungry at all. Very low energy. Thankfully, my hubby has been cooking for the kids, or picking up food, to let me rest and recover.

I've heard so much about head hunger on this site. So far, I'm just not interested in food at all. It's been hard to meet the calorie and Protein goals.

I am 5 days post-op, anyone into the pureed stage? When did you really start wanting food?

I’m pre-op, day 1 of liver shrinking diet. I am on liquids but can have 4 meals (protein and veg) during the 2 weeks

@gingermem0rialHow are you doing? Yesterday (surgery date) was pretty rough for me and even over night I'm barely getting more than an hours 2 of sleep at a time. Doesn't help that my foley cath isn't draining on its own so i have to alert the nurses everytime I feel full so they can manipulate the tube to drain. The first time I got up to walk, I got the sweats, super hot, and nauseous. The second time was better.

Hope yours is better!

I am one week post op and still have no interest in food. I really have to work at getting the Protein in. I go for my first follow up today so I am hoping to go to the pureed stage.

      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.
