This liquid diet is really a challenge. Perhaps it's head hunger at this point, because my stomach is not growling. I just want food. I have loved Jell-o since a child, but at this point.. and these shakes. Oh boy! This is not good! I'm trying to be strong and positive, counting the days until April 15th. Sigh...

Sounds like you will have a hard time ahead handling this. It is hard for everyone, really. Keep busy. Good luck!

You can do this girl!! My surgery is on April 14th and I am on Day 4 of a 10 day liquid diet. I am blessed that I have had no headache and no cravings though. I actually made it through the weekend great! I will say a prayer for you and just holla at me if you need anything! Good Luck

The beauty after surgery is u feel no craving for hunger well at least I haven't .. I struggled on my liquid diet as well but I'm 5 days post op and only thing I'm tired of is not being able to chew food ... u will get threw it throw extra activities to pass time it does get easier. .. remember why you are doing this and stay positive why don't u try fruit smoothies. ..

Ugh, I can only imagine how hard this is for you! I have my first appt with the doctor the day of your surgery. Soon you'll look back and it will be a distant memory. Hang in there!

For me, the pre-op diet was the worst part of the entire experience. Keep busy and keep drinking. Surgery day will be here before you know it!

You can do it, yes you can. It's awful, it sucks, it's a pain, but you gotta get through it and we know you can. Come on here and vent. Sending hugs. You will be through it before you know....

May you be blessed with the strength you need to get through it all! The hardest things in life are the most rewarding, and although that doesn't help you in this exact moment, I hope you will feel it when you look back. This part of the journey only lasts 8 more days!

I just love you all so much. This is the one place I know I can not only find people who understand, but people who encourage me. I'll be fine! Sometimes I just get a little frustrated and want to chew. Mind Over Matter!

I agree ....keeping yourself busy helps....I am suffering more from head hunger than actual hunger....there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Stay strong!! You can do it
