On day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet and I have to say ...it doesn't get easier. Damn Halloween candy! I'm being good so far but I don't want to.

Is anyone else in the liquids phase? I'm having surgery Nov 9th...any band buddies?? I need support! It's hard, I'm making dinner for my family and they are eating around me and I feel so weak.

I think it's hard because most of this over eating crap is mental anyway right?? Well, then we read how some people only have 1 week of liquids and some only have 3 days....then we start to think..I can probably eat this, no big deal. I think I try to tell myself if I eat just this once it will be ok. I've already lost 7lbs..

Damn it's hard!

I'm on day 2 of my 12 day liquid diet. Litterly starting it as it is midnight right now. I was lucky not to have to deal with the Halloween candy -- I didn't buy any and I dont' have kids! I'm being good so far as well, but I do have temptations since I work night shift at a hosptial and theres a cafeteria that people get food from and I always smell it and I'm about to go nuts!

I'm lucky enough to have a husband who pretty much cooks, so he can cook for himself.

Why don't you keep in touch with me, let me know how you're doing. .I'm having surgery November 13th, and I'm really hoping I can get through this.

Just remember you can do it!:scared2:

Hey! I'm on a 7 day liquid diet, and my surgery is on 11/6. Are you getting in a enough Protein? I honestly haven't been hungry since being on the liquids. I've definitely WANTED food that my boyfriend has been making for dinner, but that's because I know that his food tastes delicious and I'm stuck sucking down another chocolate shake for dinner.

I'm sorry you have to cook. That's cruel and unusual punishment! I almost cried in the Trader Joe's yesterday b/c I was frustrated with their Soup selection and I had to walk past the 4 samples carts and say 'no thank you'. I am very impressed that you're cooking dinner and sticking to your liquids! Hang in there!

want and need were two different things really defined for me. I wasn't hungry. I was having Isopure shakes so I got my Protein If I just wanted something for the heck of it. I had SF Jello or a popsicle. I drank a lot of hot herbal tea also.

How did your surgery go?

      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.
