I found that my body got used to the liquid diet after the first week and then it wasn't as bad. I drank my shakes at the same time every day and it became a routine.

I promise it is much better after surgery. Your appetite will be right in line with your ability to eat.

Good luck!

I'm on day three... I'm emotional. Cried about manicotti last night I don't even care for it. I see the surgeon tomorrow for pre op appointment. Best of luck and prayers to all my porky comrades.

I'm on day 6 of clear liquid diet. Sleeve Surgery is on Friday! There's been some rough moments, but I've toughed it out and all I can say is Protein shakes and organic BONE BROTH!!! The sugar free Jello popsicles are a life saver. Cold, crunchy and sweet gives you the sense of eating. I've lost 15 pounds in the last 7 weeks. But most of it was this week. Ready to get this done! Good luck everyone

I'm ending day 2 of 14. Looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm only allowed liquids. I'm drinking Premier Protein for bfk and dinner and broth with genpro for lunch. My doctor directed me to stay within 400-600 cal and 70 grams of Protein. I'm drinking 80-100 ounces of Water. As stated above the sugar free popsicles have been a nice addition. I lost 3 1/2 lbs after the first day. I've always been told the first 10lbs is Water weight and it comes off quickly. My surgery date is November 22nd. I'm excited and impatient.

I only had to do one week of liquids pre-op and it was definitely the hardest thing so far, for me anyway. I am 9 weeks post-op today. The hunger will definitely get better. Hang in there and good luck to you. ☺

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
