I'm on my second day of the liqquid diet...shakes. however i seem to get very hungry by late afternoon. Just wondering what you all do to combat the hungry pains and what are you all eating? HELP....any information is greatly appreciated!!

Ps. what exercises are you all doing? Im walking ..walking...walking...

Eat jello....in large amounts. Jello will feel like you're full, but goes away fairly quickly, so eat more.

What kind of shakes are you drinking? They may not have enough protein in them and that is why you feel hungry again. Give us a break down of what you eat/drink (protein count) and when - that should help to figure it out!!

Hello, im having 15 grams of Protein shake (EAS) every morning and lunch time and then a palm size piece of chicken and a cup of veggies. Following what the nurse gave me. But it doesnt seem like enough.....im starving by 7pm! Drinking at least 48 or more of Water.

I would recommend finding a higher Protein Drink and that will help a bit. The Jello is your answer as well as much Clear liquids you desire. Sometimes hot chicken broth can hit the spot. Each day it gets a little better on the pre op as you rid your body of carbs and the stomach gets used to the new diet. Just think, every day is one day closer to your healthy new life!

I found that days 4 & 5 of the liquid preop diet were the hardest (I had to do 14 days of nothing but protein shakes). At one point I even thought the cat food smelled good. But once you get beyond that, you cease to be hungry... at least that was my experience. Good luck!

The first few days were pretty intense for me. I coulda threw mustard on my arm and just chewed away haha. My protein shakes were very high in protein, the body fortress from wal mart is great! and i had a rescue bag with me that had sugar free gum, candy, and crystal light packs. anytime i felt the munchies creeping up, i dove into that and it worked. after a while, it got way better. i ate broth like mad. but it was all worth it. Good luck to you!!
