All liquids for 10 days. The first two days were ok, third day was a struggle...today is day 4 and I'm dying over here. I'm so so hungry! All the sweet shakes and stuff are just making me gag. I have some broth but it only satisfies me for like 10 mins.

I totally caved today and ate TWO strong cheeses. I feel bad but ugh.

How do you cope with cooking dinner for your family when you're literally starving?? I just feel like crying I'm having a weak/bad day!

Thank you all for the support! I have lost 10 lbs so that's good.

I keep telling myself "I can eat whatever I want, but I choose not to" --- to remind myself I'm in control of food, it's not in control of me.

That's so great! I see so many people losing lots of weight during the liquid diet and I had hoped I would be the same. Unfortunately, I've been on the diet for 11 days and have lost 7 lbs. I haven't cheated at all ( although I really, really wanted to). I also work out a couple times a week with a physical therapist. Go figure.

I'm bracing myself for being a slow loser after surgery.

I guess all surgeons are different? My surgery is tomorrow and I have been on a full liquid diet since Saturday. But that includes light yogurt, plain oatmeal (with skim milk and truvia) and sugar free pudding....so at least I had some things that I felt filled me up and I could enjoy. Today is my only day of Clear liquids only.

I can't imagine having to do today for 1 or 2 weeks. I totally feel for you!!

Yes all surgeons seem to be different. There's a lot of folks in my online FB group that can have one meal a day, or it's strictly calorie counting or low carb. I'm so jealous of those people! Lol.

I have two days left of this and then two days of clear liquids (which I know will be hell) and then it's surgery day. I am trying to keep my eye on the prize!

Today is my second day of liquids and it's getting harder, I wonder why some doctors allow a meal and others don't.

I'm 5-1/2 years post op and STILL have the weight off. So, take my advice on this. As bad as this sucks, the "break down" stage (liquid diet, I could eat a shoe) is important. Try to focus on sticking with it because your brain will trick your body into thinking you are hungry after the surgery. The liquid stage is such an important step. It sounds crazy but the stage that I flipped out on was soft foods. I was frustrated by then! Hang in there. You will get there.
