it does get easier, the first couple days are the hardest to get used to the changes. Spread the Protein Drinks out during the day to help feel full.

The headache may be from a lack of caffeine. If you were drinking much coffee or soda before, it can cause headache as you get off it. I felt a lot better by day 3. Good luck, it's worth it in the long run...

It's true, the first few days are the hardest because such a drastic change from usual "eating." I agree headache probably due to not having or having drastically less caffiene, or perhaps not staying hydrated. Investigate all your no/low cal liquid options. You are on the home stretch and there will be an end, just seems so far off right now. Stay connected to others by logging in every day to this site. We are all here rooting each other on!

      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.
