liver shrinking diet: day 2

Hi everybody :) I was just curious if anyone else has the same problem I do. I'm on day 2 (of 14) of the liver shrinking diet, and I get 4 shakes and 1 lean cuisine a day. I'm hungry but whatever, I'm not tempted to cheat or anything. My problem is that I can't convince myself to drink enough liquids! I was told to make sure I get 7-8 glasses of water or crystal light (or something similar) a day, and now day 2 is almost over.. I've probably had 2 bottles of water. I'm actually slightly sick too, with a sore throat and some allergy issues. The thought of drinking is actually grossing me out.. I try to just chug a bit of water or crystal light but I swear it's worse than taking NyQuil (ew!). So I was just curious if anyone else has/had this issue, and what you did to overcome it? Other than forcing myself I just don't see it happening. Thanks! :)

Haha, thanks! I'm glad to know I'm not crazy here. My mom keeps yelling at me ("Plug your nose and chug!") but it's tough to even do that, lol. I did realize that when I eat dinner in the evening I can drink a lot more (last night I had 2 big glasses of crystal light in one sitting) and I think that's just a behavioral habit I'm going to have to break. Ahhh the little things you notice! Lol. Good luck to you! Surgery on July 6th?

Try adding the flavored packets to your water. They also have these new flavored liquid called Mio. It doesn't taste bad. I can't stand drinking all that water either. But they really help. I am 9 months post op. And I hate drinking water also. Good luck to water drinking.

Thank you! I was actually talking to my dad about it today and he mentioned MiO.. I'm headign to walmart in a bit for more shakes so I'll definitely try it. Have you had the peach mango one? That looks like it might be good. That and the sweet tea, lol. Congrats @ 9 months post-op! Good luck to you too :)

I have tried Tea and Fruit Punch.

I'm on day two of the liver reduction diet. I'm allowed 4 shakes aday . My problem is I hate the shakes. They make me want to gag. So I am only having 3 a day and broth and sugar free jello. i haven't been starving, just wish I could have some solid food.

yes the 6th wish it was 2morrow so it was over already lol
