It does eventually. You will be on liquids probably another week or two after surgery, but it probably won't bother you as much because you're not going to be as hungry. I was thrilled when I got to the mushy stage - it was nice to chew again. Good luck, you can do it!

It gets easier after surgery because you don't feel hungry. I'm amazed at the lack of hunger - although I will have some hunger like feelings but I have acid reflux.

My surgery is on the 28th too and this diet is rough. I think we will make it a few more days! Kinda wish it was just a 7 day diet instead!! Lol

Hang on :)

Here's what I would like to say. Yes it does get better, but in my opinion and experience, this is the hardest part for you. Once you have the surgery, you will not feel hungry and more than likely you'll have to force yourself in remembering to drink liquids! I know if it wasn't for my wife getting on to me about it (she was sleeved a little over a month ago) I probably would not realize I need to drink anything.

I know seven days is a ways off to be on a liquid diet (with your surgery date of the 28th), but those things we want, those things we know we need comes with hard work and dedication. Your hard work and dedication with this diet will pay off for you in so many ways!

Stick with it. I know you can do this!

Oh yeah, the liquid diet gets way better after surgery....

Thank you everyone. I am so sick of these two flavors of protein. And liquid liquid liquid

I feel your pain, my surgery is on the 29th. I am actually excited to be on the mushy phase. I have never been so tired of drinking in all my life. I feel like I am a float. Our countdown continues for a few more days. We can do it.
