Im having surgery in December. How is the liquid diet going??

I am on day 2. I felt hungry all day yesterday even though I had a shake for Breakfast broth for lunch and dinner and a shake before bed trying to curb the hunger. I know this might sound crazy but maybe I feel so hungry because I didn't chew anything so today I am going to buy a large cup of crushed ice to chew on see if it makes a difference and tricks my brain. I am also going to take pictures of myself today and I hope if I feel the urge to cheat looking at these pictures will keep me honest.

I have celiac disease which means I am allergic to wheat malt barley and rye. Anyways most broths, Soups, Protein Shakes, powders and even sugar free Popsicles have wheat and malt so I am having to do it on my own.
