So far I've done great on this liquid diet. I know it's because I've kept busy and kept my mind off of it. Today has been a horrible day. I'm just plain HUNGRY. I haven't caved at all, but I'm laying in bed absolutely starving and all I can think about is the jar of pickles in my fridge!

One minute I'm so strong, and the next minute I'm questioning if I can really do this. Ugh, wish I could just go to sleep.

Tomorrow is a new day!

From everything I've read, it really does get better after day 4. You're doing great! Hang in there.

The pre and post op diets are horrible. All I can say is that you just have to get through it. Hang in there...we're behind you.

I am on Day 8, it does get better, days at work are easier because I can lose myself in work and I find myself reminding me to eat (drink a shake). This weekend was pretty tough, being so close to a huge selection of food. But my son graduated from high school on Saturday, so I was distracted for most of the day. I panicked when I realized I had no acceptable items with me when we sitting down for a two hour graduation ceremony, but I was able to buy a bottled Water and add crystal light, that helped as people were eating candy and popcorn all around me. Today I spent buying all of my Clear liquids for the first three days, and full liquids for up through week 2. The grocery store was tough with all of those beautiful foods, some healthy some sugar bombs!

I have 2 more days before going to the surgical center. I am getting sleeved on Weds! I can't believe it is so close!

Day 5 of my pre op diet was the turnaround day for me. It happened to fall on a Saturday and thought oh no... this is going to be horrible. But that is when my hunger/ cravings really decreased. I did fine with the pre op diet day 5 to 14 after that. Hopefully you will be the same way.

I am able to have 4 Premier Protein shakes a day. They gave me other options for Protein Shakes, but wanted me to pick one and stick with it.

I am to have 64 oz of "other" liquids (Water, flavored water, g2, etc)

I can have up to two cups of broth. That's usually my dinner. I can also have sf Jello and sf popsicles.

I'm not gonna lie...once a day I mix PB2 (powdered peanut butter) into my Protein shake. It just makes me look forward to something!

The internal struggle and you not caving proves you are very strong. I'm 4 days out so I totally understand. I can smell food like an animal.

I agree that it does get better. I am on day 6 and yesterday I forgot to have a Protein drink that I could have had. The first 3 days I counted down the minutes until I could have that drink like it was a drug or something.

Day 4 try a cream of something Soup mixed with Water. It worked for me.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
