Liquid diet day 2-STRUGGLING

I'm on a 2 week liquid diet, 5 shakes a day. I am so used to eating a LOT. I'm on day 2 and all I can think about is tacos. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. But shoo! This is ROUGH.

I'm trying to stay focused on my goal. I don't want to let some delicious tacos get in my way.

    Stay strong! Once you're into day 3 or 4 the cravings and hunger subside. It's the oddest thing but it will happen. Keep your Fluid up to help with feeling full. You can do this!

    I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. What's working for me right now is keeping something to drink in my hands, having sugar free Jello, and staying busy

Like I just pull up to the drive through and get a whole bag of ice??????

Shut the front door!!

My doc said I could use unsweetened almond milk instead of Water with the shakes. And I have been drinking isopure water. 40gm Protein and it counts as water. It's rough but I am hanging in there. I was drinking broth from chicken noodle soup yesterday and when I got finished I chewed up the noodles and spit them out just for the sensation. I am pathetic

Hi, I am new here and this is actually my first post.

Kelly, I just wanted to tell you that you are by no means pathetic. There is a very real psychological effect to not eating (read: chewing). And the fact that you chewed but still had the will power to spit it back out it just amazing. I hope you realize that you are an inspiration. No one here is pathetic. We have problems with food, but we are doing something about it!

I know I don't know you, but I am proud of you all the same. Keep it up :)

Figured I'd post an update! Now I'm on day 9 and my surgery is Monday. It does seem easier now, when I don't allow myself to think about it. I've been trying to stay occupied which is challenging because I'm generally a boring person lol. I am surviving though and in the beginning I didn't know if I could make it through the 2 weeks. I'm almost there! 41 shakes down, 29 to go!

I am on day 5 of 10. It's really hard. Right now I am sitting in my den eating a crystal light slushy and my family is eating BoJangles. I hate my life now. But I am just powering through. If I didn't have yal I would be screwed

I completely understand. Yesterday I was with a friend and she bought herself and her daughter some Popeyes chicken. It smelled so good and my mouth was literally watering. Not eating a single bite of food for 9 days will do that to you I guess lol. I couldn't wait to get out of the car and away from the smell. It was truly torture.
