[PrettyLittleMe 0]

Day two of the liquid diet and I was really hungry last night. I drank a some broth that helped a little but was still hungry last night. This morning I am filling a little better not as hungry but very tired.

I am right there with ya. I am on day 3 of liquids and am a little tired too. People at my office laugh because they can hear my stomach growling. I keep thinking of my surgery on the 29th and stick with the program.

Surprisingly enough my dr doesn't require any diets before surgery and they are a center for excellence. Things that make you go hummmm. But I am forever grateful.

Yes, my program also didn't require a pre-op (or post-op really) diet -- and that's worked out well for me, personally. Good luck to everyone on liquids right now, you can do it...and it's worth it.

she also said if i get really hungry that i can have hard boiled egg....I can also have 2 cups of non starchy vegs a day.

Good luck all!

I am on day 6 of the liquid diet. I do get hungry but I am just trying to embrace my hunger! LOL!! One thing that helped me was the week before liquids I got off all carbs and sugar. I was really tired that week but now I feel great! Just starving!! Surgery set for Apr. 5 in San Antonio.

try just eating the egg white.... the egg white only has 17 calories, but the yolk has 59... this way, you could eat 2 or 3 hard boiled egg whites, and get less calories than a single hard-boiled egg (76 calories)

Ask your docotr if you can have non starchy veggies at dinner time (like celery, lettuce, radish, mushroom with vinegar) Mine said that was okay. I have to do the liquid diet for FOURTEEN DAYS!!!!!! I know we will all get through this and it will be worth it in the end. !!!!

All the best,

My COE mandates us to do a 24 hr pre op liquid diet with 1-2 weeks of Atkins beforehand. Just a thought, have you tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein? You can have the Protein chicken broth as well as the flavored protein (clear liquids) that will help you stay full and ward off those nasty hunger pains.

Good luck and congrats!!
