My surgery is on Sept 4th. VERY EXCITED but I am starving. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about how to curb the appetite during these dreadful days? I am 3 days down 9 to go but I don't want to fail hoping for some great thought starters from all you successful sleevers out there!

you are on 12 days of clear liquids??? that seems odd..... there is no protien in clear liquids usually. Seems like a good way to make your body weak for surgery? Any one else have any thoughts? I would not been able to do clear liquids only for 12 days pre-op. Post op yes.....

I am allowed to have 4 oz of cottage cheese per day, 1 string cheese and 8 oz of milk. I take all of my vitamins and then soups and sugar free carb free drinks. I also am allowed to have three protein shakes per day. But...still starving!

I found out yesterday that my surgery is scheduled for 9/4/12 I started the liquid diet today, but it's not clear liquids only and also allows for yogurt, sugar free pudding, low fat cream soups and protein shakes. I envy your cottage cheese and string cheese. I am hungry too, so grateful it's only 10 days of this. To avoid cheating, I am mindful that the smaller liver will make for an easier surgery. I wish you the best and I feel your pain

I am on day 5 of liquids. 4 protein shakes a day, I can also have SF jello, SF popscicles, and broth. I am hungry today, but it is the first day I have really been hungry.

Oh and my liquid diet is 14 days! My surgery is scheduled for 9/4.

I am allowed to have 4 oz of cottage cheese per day, 1 string cheese and 8 oz of milk. I take all of my vitamins and then soups and sugar free carb free drinks. I also am allowed to have three protein shakes per day. But...still starving!

Stop to think is it head hunger? Am I really just thirsty? Have a glass of water wait 10 minutes and then see if you are still hungry.

Thank you for the advice. I am down right starving lol! But today is day 5 and I am feeling much better now that I have only a week to go!
