Yes, liquid. Was okd to add strained creamy Soup and Greek yogurt

@@gertiemay, I just started my 2 week liquid diet on Thursday. The first two days weren't too awful, but I did battle with head hunger and cravings. I work 2nd shift and typically am not a Breakfast eater so I would have a shake at 2pm, drink two bottles, have another shake at 5pm, drink more Water, have a shake at 8pm, a lot more water, and then a final shake around 11(I don't go to sleep until LATE). That routine helped keep me "satisfied"; however, the copious amounts of food were terrible. Now, here it is day 3 and it's easier to not look at food and want to "cheat".
Just make sure your Protein Shakes have enough Protein. I started with the Atkins Advantage shakes with only 15g of protein. I had a muscle milk this morning with 40g and seem to be more satisfied. I do not like the amount of sodium in those, so I will be making the changes to Premier. Now, I'm not much on sweets so my Nut is allowing me one serving of fat free, low sodium, broths. That has been a God send at this point!
You can do this!!
that should be *drink two bottles of water

I LOVE sugar...my sleeve hates it. I can have a few bites, which is just enough to enjoy a dessert, but if I eat any more I get very sick. Some people never experience dumping with the sleeve, but some of us do. Just the other night I was out to dinner and I had a few bites of hummus, a bite of flatbread, and a few pieces of Tomato and I felt fine. I then literally had two very small spoonfulls of a pecan pie type dessert and I was throwing up and oozing goo from my throat for the next 45 minutes. I chose the sleeve because it cuts out the hunger hormone and because it requires less rearranging of the digestive system, however I guess I have been "lucky" in the sense that if I eat anything too sugary, greasy, fatty, or otherwise unhealthy, I get sick very quickly which really serves as a great deterrent.
