Day three and I'm doing ok in spurts and then I want food so bad! It's insane!

I haven't cheated, I won't cheat but man!

Anyone else share the pain?

Mind over matter you can do it!

I'm little engine that coulding it for sure!

Thanks!

I wanted to eat my shoes.

I would have given my soul for food lol but its all worth it! You can do it!

I'm right there with you... I'm obsessing about food... I knew I was addicted to food but damn! I haven't cheated either... You can do it

I tried to chew Jello. We were all there, you got this.

And the frosting on the cake is three days of this liquid hell and my blood pressure meds start working to good! Lord help me my blood pressure dropped big time! Called doc praying he was going to say "Amy, what you need is a turkey sandwich and some Doritos! sTAT!" Instead he said stop taking them, if it gets to low go to the ER.... Dang it! Was really hoping for that sandwich! I have lost 7lbs in three days tho! Silver lining!

Take heart! The first 3 days are the worst! It will get easier after today! You GOT this!

You will see great results from adhering to the liquid diet as you are starting to see these first 7 days.

You'll find your stride in it and be a trooper.

Most all of us have been through it and fully understand where you are.

It gets much easier !!!!

Hardest thing I have ever done! It'll be over before you know it!

I have been doing it since January 1st.

Go to the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury site and find their high Protein jell-o recipe. It's great!

Also drink broth if needed...great for savory flavor and only about 15 calories per 8oz

Good luck! You can do this its all mind over matter

I'm doing better everyday! Boy! Good test on if you want this or not!

Very true! But it does get easier

My surgeon doesn't have me on a liquid diet pre-op except for the day before surgery. Is that unusual? I feel like it is based on what I've been seeing on this forum. Not that I'm complaining! I'm going under next Thursday the 28th and happy to NOT be on liquids before I absolutely HAVE to.

Mine and most do it to shrink the liver to aid in the process of lifting the liver during the surgery to get to the stomach better. I know from past health issues I have a fatty liver so as much as I complain I'm glad to be doing this, it's my detox. That being said each surgeon is different some don't see a difference in the time on the liquid diet, some do. I know the day before surgery I go from liquids to just clear liquids and then have to do my bowel prep. Which is the cherry on this hell cupcake! Ha ha ha
