So, at any point during the two week liquid diet (4 protein drinks, broth, water, crystal light) does your brain stop craving food?

I'm on day 3, and hoping the mourning doesn't last the whole time. I know most of it is head hunger, but I am just wanting to prepare myself if it doesn't get better.

I am on day 3 of my liquid diet and I am just trying to keep myself busy. I am hungry but it seems to be better today. I go for a walk at night and go to bed by 9:00. It is helping. Good luck to you. You can do it!

It really, really does. I'm on day 10, and while I still get cravings for specific things here and there, the overwhelming feeling of "oh my god I'm hungry and could eat everything" is mostly gone. The hardest time for me is late at night, so I keep lots of sf popsicles and jello around to munch until I feel full (it doesn't take nearly as much now! ).

Thanks!

Thank god I only have 2 days I don't think I could go 2 weeks

One of the other girls going on the same day as me had a 3week liquid diet! Man that would be rough!

I am on day 1 of a 3 week liquid diet. So far so good. Loooooooooooooooooong way to go though!

This is pre-op? Man, I guess I'm lucky that Kaiser only makes us do liquids the day before surgery.

In my program we have a choice of a 2 week special diet which consists of 1 piece of fruit, a dinner consisting of 3 oz. protein with veggies and the rest of day you have protein shake a liquids, followed by all liquids the last day or the 2 nd options of a 9 day liquid diet. I prefer the 9 day liquid diet and just get it done.

Kaiser in Oregon requires 2 weeks liquid. I wish I had your Kaiser!

The liquid diet pre-surgery is hard because technically you can have all your favorites you are just not supposed to. After it is easier because you are not that hungry and only eating because you are supposed to.

The goal is to lose weight pre-op to make surgery easier. That is why some have 10 days or 2 weeks. I lost 20 lbs in 10 day liquid diet so it is a positive

Yeah I understand the purpose, I just was curious of at some point your head got used to it?

Like I said it is much easier to get used to post surgery. Before it is tough but I am sure you will do well!

I lost 10 lbs during the classes (not as much as I wanted but still a loss). Dr says he would like to see a bit more loss but just not to gain or he will cancel my surgery. My goal is another 10 at least (I've dropped 5 more since seeing him).

I was told the the purpose for liquid diet is to separate your stomach from organs and to be easy for surgery. I'm not looking forward to the liquid dirt
