I don't really think there are any tricks to it...you gotta suck it up and get through these next 5 days using sheer willpower.

I found it helpful to just keep reminding myself why I was having the surgery, why it was safest to stick with my preop diet, and kept things that inspired me around the house as visual aid (smaller clothes, picture of the bahamas trip I'm gonna take when I hit goal, etc)

It's gonna be hard but you can do it!

If you change your focus it will go much easier for you. If you are at home then leave. Go for a brisk walk. Come home have a snack and take a nap. Get up and do the opposite of what is your norm. This helped me get through the liquid post-op phase. I did a lot of walking during this time and it will only help you to start exercising.

you are not alone! i too have 5 more days of only slim fast diet of pre-op! so much more difficult than i thought. my son came home from the army(been gone 3 months) and i cooked a party for about 50 people. i got to eat none of it. thought i would cave, but the emotional aspect sailed me through it! we,ve come this far, we can stick it out. nothing tastes as good, as being thin feels!

Dreamalways07, I have been having the same issues lately. I am on day 4 of my liquid diet and am trying to keep myself from eating solids. It really does suck!!!! I have been keeping myself busy with SF ice pops and so far it seems to be working. The only problem is that I have 2 or 3 at one time. I dont mind the SF Jello either, it's actually pretty good and comes in a lot of flavors. Luckily I found a Protein Shake that I actually like, it sort of tastes like nesquik. I am fearful for the weekend though, don't know how I am gonna handle it. At least at work I can keep myself occupied. I plan on doing some "Spring Cleaning" to keep my mind off of all the things I can't have. I look at it this way, my health is more important than me risking complications during band placement just for a moment of satisfaction. You should be okay, it's really not that bad. Remember....mind over matter!:thumbup:

didn't any of your nutritionists tell you to eat yogurt on your pre-op diet?

A lot of yogurts are actually very high in sugar.

My doc was strictly medifast products, I wasn't able to supplement with anything else. Each doc is different though.

      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?

      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.
