January 25th is my date liquid diet started Jan 11th Im ready My God is Awesome.

Stanley I can't tell you how I craved food on TV. Food I never even wanted before, but I got through it like most of us do! Stay focused and positive and use the forum to rant rave or even cry to us! We've been there done or doing that, not to mention your helping out someone else who is about to go through this! Your stronger and braver than you know!!!

okay i will do it its on thanks

Im on day 13.. It does get easier!! Bad news is the more u cheat the hungrier you are and the harder it gets... Tough it out 2-3 days and you will see it becomes a lot easier! Best of luck to you!

I had to do two weeks of liquids also. I found eating something HOT helped and I was allowed to have cream based Soups. I found that the most satisfying Soup for me was Tomato Soup made with low fat milk. It kept me fuller than the shakes and the warmth of it helped. The liquid diet helps your liver shrink down in size and makes your surgery easier to perform. I was allowed to have as much Soup as I wanted in addition to the Meal Replacement shakes.
One mistake I made in the beginning was thinking I could interchange the Soups and the shakes, but I learned quickly that the shakes are MANDATORY, they are Meal Replacement and will help keep you full and give you Protein. The filler soups are for in between, but again, they helped me because they were warm. It got better after three consistent days of sticking with it.
If you are struggling with hunger maybe your doctor will prescribe something for hunger. Call and talk to them about your struggles.

I did too, you will be fine. I agree with Ortega though, don't over do it! Once a day or less with something is modest. My nut said I could have a 1/4 cup of almonds once a day for the first three days if I needed to chew something. Totally helped me curve my cravings. Good luck, you can do it!
