Sooooo tired of the liquid diet

[JeniM73 56]

I've been on the liquid diet for about 10 days now and have another 10 to go. I have a high BMI, so my surgeon required me to be on it for 3 weeks. I'm really tired of waking up hungry and going to bed hungry and being soooooo hungry all day that I can't even think straight! Ugh! Please give me encouragement. Tell me this will end.

I know it gets old! I struggled with just 1 week of it! Get creative though. Are you allowed to have smoothies? What about Soups (not just clear broth)? Different doctors require different things. My doctor said liquids only for 1 week (liquids being anything that can be sucked thru a straw (even a big straw)).

Also, think about that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You can totally do this! The liquid diet isn't forever!

You can do this!! Your half way there. Hang in there!!

Thanx. I'm gonna keep going. I'd be so mad at myself to quit now.
