Y'all are so lucky Today is day 8 of my liquid diet and I have 6 more days of it.....the first couple of days I was so hungry I wanted to gnaw my arm off, then it got better....but then yesterday it was bad again. It wasn't even that I was really hungry yesterday, I just wanted some REAL FOOD. I keep telling myself it's all worth it in the end.

Tons of Water, sugar free candy and gum and just keeping busy. Also, going to the gym.

Can you have broth?

Yes for sure, I'd have a cup a day, is swear it tasted like steak. Lol

I've tried it ALL and nothing is helping. I was so weak today I thought I would pass out. I had some egg drop Soup. I hope this doesn't mess up my surgery date for thurs. I just thought I would black out. I'm nervous now.

Can you have broth?

Yes I can but its not helping. I've tried everything and I literally think I'm losing my mind.

Sorry to tell you this, but you need to get used to the liquids -- or cancel your surgery now. You'll be doing liquids for another 2-3 weeks after the surgery too.

Broths, drink the broths. And not low-sodium. Your body needs salt to survive. Strain chicken noodle or French onion soup for a satisfying taste

I think you hit the nail on the head with the low sodium. That's the broth I was using.i do no want to cancel my surgery. I know I can do this and it's more mental than anything else.

Isnt it odd we are all on different combinations of liquid diets for different time frames? Why is that? My surgery is on 8/6. I am on day 2 of 5 of full liquids and then go to clear liquids for days 6 and 7. They told me 5-6 protein shakes a day and my stomach is still growling. I had a beefy mushroom soup, strained, and it was yummy! Good luck to you all!
