How did your day go? I'm on day two and still have a headache but I'm not hungry so that's a plus. Never thought I would say this, thank God for jello.

I have the same feeling, not hungry but I want to eat something. I have found crushed ice or even ice I've blended helps. That crunch makes me feel like I'm eating something.

I chew gum my nurse said I can have it now but after surgery it's bad make me even more gassy

I'm so glad I found this site it's such a big help exchanging information and helping each other so encouraging all of you are so sweet tear????

Yeah I am on all liquids for 16 days to shrink my liver and clear me out lol but I am in Australia so things are a bit different here.

Unfortunately it's school holidays here so I am stuck making 3 meals a day for 7 more days.

That would be hard. This liquid diet is proving we are stronger than we thought. Good luck!

I started last week as a preliminary to test shakes out. Today is the real deal liquid protein diet all week with surgery next Monday.

It's totally doable, good luck to you!

best mix for me.

Started my liquid diet today. 13 more days to go...I did have a few minutes where I could have totally cheated but remembered that cheating is what got me here. I am trying to stay focused and disciplined because this is about getting my body ready surgery.

your so right yesterday my niece birthday cake was sitting there calling me but I turned around and picked my Lara protein shake it feels good when we can over the cravings yay!

I almost cried because I was mourning the lost of my smoked almonds and whole cashews. I want hot food.

hy when I'm on the liquid diet every other commercial is food. Why would I possibly be craving little Caesars? Come one really little Caesars !!! I've slipped a couple of times. I went to the movies and had popcorn. And I ate 7 smoked almonds. I still stayed under 1000 calories but they want me at 800. I had to start giving away my snacks so I won't eat them. I need to train my mind more because next week it's all clears. Pray for me.

5 more days. I'm going to will my liver to shrink.

Did you all completely clean out your pantry and refridge and get rid of a lot of food before you started your liquid diet? There is so much stuff that I want to get rid of, but I need to keep food in my house for my family!

same with me. My family still has their snacks. I even warned them that I was going to buy frozen dinners so that I wouldn't have to cook and smell the food.

Sounds like everyone is going great!

I am now on day 9 of 16 and things are much easier now.

I am drinking a lot of my sweet tea but it has no sugar (liquid sweetener instead) and I gave my surgeon a ring and he was okay with the black tea in whatever volume I could consume lol so it's all good.

I have to say I am starting to get nervous now, everything is payed for and arranged so it's just a waiting game.

I'm on my 2nd day of 14 days of: 4 or 5 sugar free carnation instant breakfasts a day. I can only have 8 oz of skim milk in one day so I divide that up between my shakes. (Not too tasty by the way) I can also have sugar free Jello and sugar free pop cycles. I had a horrific head ache yesterday. Usually the only thing that works for my head aches is Excedrin but since I'm having a bypass, I'm off all NSAID's FOREVER! So I'm taking Tylenol which I usually do not use but I guess it will have to be my go to medicine now! While I'm at work it's not too bad but on the weekend I think I'll really struggle. My surgery is October 22, 2014.
