Its day five of this liquid crap. I'm craving a burger sooooo bad. I need something other than chocolate or vanilla. No way can I do this for two weeks. My head hurts constantly. If I cook up a small filet steak would the set me back. I just need to eat something with substance. I want to work out but I'm very weak and this headache won't stop. I've lost 12lbs since I've started. What do I do.

So, those of you who were going through the pre-op liquid diet a few weeks ago: how are you doing now? I've just started and the first day wasn't bad. I'm sure it will get harder during this 2 weeks, though. What do you think? Did it get easier or harder as you went along during pre-op? How about after? Easier or harder than pre-op?

I did a 20 cleanse at one time. Nothing but a homemade lemon aid and salt Water flush in the morning

I never did find out it this is actually true. But it helped me then and I'm going to resort back to it when I start my 14 day pre-op liquid diet

Mental Hunger only last 7 seconds. So don't dwell on how hungry you are try thinking of something else

The first three days will be hell headaches but then it's smooth sailing.

Hope it helps.

I thought it got easier as the dys passed. The first couple were hard. After surgery I was only on liquids for a week. Every week after mt doctor took me to another stage because I was doing so good. I haven't had any problems. Good luck!

unjury too I am on my pre op liquid diet too I think besides the headache I am doing better than I thought I do broth also. I also put ice in my shake I mean make a smoothie in the blender thicker is better or at least that's what I tell myself.

I'm 7 days post op as of today. The pre liquid diet got much easier as time went by the post op diet is way better I'm not hungry at all but very thirsty so drinking my fluids isn't a hardship. I am concerned about not having a bowel movement in almost 2 weeks. The good news is I have had nausea only once right after my surgery. I hope all goes well for you good luck.
