I'm so freakin hungry! It's so hard to survive on this. I'm tired, light headed, and hungry. I need strength.

I know you are! Just hang in there, this is literally the hardest part! You can do this!!! Just drink and walk and get your mind off of it as much as you can! It wont be long! You can do it!

I had over 6 months knowing this time would come. I thought ... no problem ... this is seriously rough. Things I never ever crave, I see my kids eating and I want to lick the bowl. Just to have the taste. This is insane. I know I'll be happy 6 months from now, but now ... UGH!!!

Hello Inarakatra, I'm on day 3 completed, today I wanted to start licking envelopes! Hang in there, God bless and stay busy; I worked 12 hours today.

Yes...evenlopes sounds good right now. best of luck to you as well.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done!! I'm on day 11 of 20. I have a very high protein shake 4 times a day and a dry salad a day. I don't feel malnourished, just really want to EAT stuff. I was eating spinach leaves out of the bag today!! I feel really insane. I even had a slip and ate a cheeseburger on day 7. I caught hell from my friends and support group, but it was like I could hardly control myself. It is seriously one day, one hour, and one minute at a time sometimes. If you are really hungry (stomach growling, screaming etc) make sure you are getting a shake with enough protein. Mine have 32 gm per serving and it holds me over well enough. I mean, at least 2 hours. I also have been eating sugar free jello like its my job. Broth also doesnt have calories, and neither do dill pickles. So if I need to eat something, I have a pickle or 4. I never thought it would be this hard!!! And it just goes to show how I cannot sustain a diet for any extended period of time. I just need this to be over soon and get wheeled into the O.R. I cannot wait to put on my hospital gown and get this done. Game on!!! Stay strong #SkinnyArmy
