Scared for 2 week liquid diet

[crazykim 2]

My surgery is July 15th. I start my two week liquid diet on July 1st. I am scared I will be hungry and frustrated during those weeks. Any advice?

The Protein shakes should have an appetite suppressant so a lot of the hunger will be head hunger. The best advice I can give is to just stick to it. You need to shrink your liver for a more successful surgery but you also need to start weaning yourself off foods that you won't be able to eat after surgery anyway. WLS is not an easy journey and it starts with the pre-op diet. However, if you stick to it this will be life changing. Whenever you feel hungry make a conscious decision to remind yourself why you are doing the liquid diet in the first place and that should keep you on track.

Best of luck to you!

I just did my pre-op diet alone. My son in law could not handle watching me drink that for required success. You got this follow the plan. Your doing bad......

Nope to me is that you are keeping it real.

I am finishing up my pre op diet tomorrow.

Drink lots and lots of Water .

Try to stay busy when you get hungry . Most times I was not really hungry but just bored.

Try to avoid going to parties of possible. I had to attend 2 birthday parties and a grad party the last two weeks. That was tough but I did it . It will go so quick , seemed like I just started my diet yesterday and today is day 14.
