Me too! I've had no issues getting my liquids in and I have had all my regular cravings. I binged on too many Vitamins and stopped because I can't go down this path again. Like you I am determined to win at this!

Ok. I am hungry all the time because I am struggling getting Protein in. How do you do it! I've only gotten about one shake a day in. I go to a follow up with the nutritionist tomorrow so I was going to ask her. But what do you do? I'm kind of freaked out that I'm only able to get small amounts of thick liquids in.

I'm hungry don't get me wrong but I think it's head hunger more than anything because physically my stomach isn't hungry. How big are your shakes? My servings are about 4 oz at each meal I can get those down sipping slowly and very watered down. All I can have now is broth, Tomato Soup as food 1 cup at a time. I asked some of the vets on this site about the eating now and how that changes. They said not to worry we will feel full when we introduce solids. Let me know what your nutritionist says. I see mine thurs. Hope this helps!

I struggle with more than two ounces of shake at a time. I have gotten maybe 6-8oz of shake in a day max which is only 30 grams of Protein.

Yes, it makes a little gurgle at first. That is starting to go away. I also had pain with each sip the first couple of days. It felt like even the smallest sip would just sit above the stomach for a few seconds before entering the stomach that also went away. The dr said it was because of swelling and it went away like he said. I'm surprised how it can still take 30 minutes to eat a 1/2 cup of Soup because the stomach gets full and I have to wait to take more.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
