I have had my surgery date set for June 21st, but I'm new to this message board. I'm excited to climb aboard the skinny train.  I'm having a hard time with the liquid diet before surgery though. I'm a week into it and I feel like I'm starving. I know it's only like a week away but it's really getting hard. Does anyone have suggestions to make this a little bit easier?

Welcome!  I'm pretty new, too.  Just a week or so.  My date is 6/23.  I don't know what to tell you.  My doc has me on MediFast 5 & 1 plan, so I do get to eat solid foods.  I started drinking protein shakes for lunch and breakfast a couple of months ago to get used to it.  Even so, I don't know how I will do post-op.  That's got me somewhat nervous, but will deal with it then!  Best of luck to you.  Just a few more days!  :)  Take care.  -margaret

My date is June 22nd. We're almost there!!! I have also been on a liquid diet for over a week now, I am hungry, but it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I know what your going through i just had my revision from LB to RNY on 03/16/2010 and the post surgical liquid diet is a detox, you will get through it!  You will need to in order to get the desire to eat so much outta your brain not your tummy!  I used to chew things to take the flavor out and spit it out inthe garbage and it really help ALOT......Hope this helps!
