Day 5 of this liquid diet, I think about food but not really hungry for it, counting the days down, I think once I have a week under my belt the second week will b a breeze? I hope so any way, lol

I'm glad it's going so well for you! Me, i always felt the gnawing hunger, i just got better at ignoring it. I do believe that after you do liquids for several days you body does get used to it and the hunger pangs get better. Not sure if it was nerves or me getting used to it, but the day before ,y surgery i had been liquid dieting for about 9 days and i wasn't hungry or thirsty. I barely drank any Water or Protein. I just didn't want it.

What kind of protein have you been having?

What were the hardest days being on your liquid diet? Think about trying it a week before I have to .

The beginning was the worst. As surgery gets closer it becomes much easier. You're out of the worst of it now!

Thanks guys, I drink unjury,Atkins,whey and advantage protein shakes, but I also drink my water and broth every I try to fill up on this stuff and I carry at lease 16oz of protein around with me when I go out just in case ?

DCborn It sounds like you have a good plan enforced. How do you like unjury shakes and where can i buy them?

Unjury is brought online only

I forgot to say they taste ok I don't have a problem with no protein shakes I have tired yet

I really feel sorry for you folks that have had to do extended liquid diets!!!! I consider myself extremely lucky in that I only have to do all liquids the day before surgery. I'm having surgery on 1/7. Have to take MOM on Sunday night 1/5, liquid diet on 1/6 and off to the hospital at 4:30 a.m. on 1/7. Good luck DCborn and everyone else!!! Happy New Year!!!

Thank and we all look forward in chatting after the surgery I am on 1/6

Sounds like you are set up for success. As for the worst part of preop, mine was the 1st 3 days when I had bad headaches and then surprisingly, day 14. For some reason I got REALLY hungry that day and almost cheated. I kind of had a panic attack over the whole decision to have surgery then, too. But I made it through and am 9 days postop. Believe me, you will hardly give your preop diet a second thought once it's over.

Thanks I look forward to being that way

I'm January 6th as well. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday (new year's eve... tequila's a liquid, right?). Excitement and trepidation abound. Sounds like you're much better prepared for the diet than I am, DCborn. I'm kind of ignoring it until it gets here so I don't wear myself out with anxiety. Haha. Ugh...

Good luck, man. I'll see you on the other side, sir.

That is for sure, my Dr wants almost 3weeks of liquid diet, you r so lucky, what time is yours, my is at 7:30

I am on my 5th day of liquids. Almost halfway done! I really want some french fries lol! Im tired of these liquids....

I would love some French fries with ketchup
