Ok, I'm 4 days in on my liquid diet ( which sucks!) My stomach for the most part has quit hurting like it did the first few days, but now I'm finding myself truly tempted and hungry. I'm drinking tons of Fluid and sugar free Jello and broth. Question is, is there anything else I can gave to satisfy my hunger??

It really depends on your doctor's plan. I'm 4 days post surgery as well and my "full liquid" diet allows Greek yogurt, pudding and cream of wheat. The thicker textures of those foods is more satisfying than just drinking protein shakes. The Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt brand is quite thick and has 15g of protein. I made cream of wheat today with a little Splenda and cinnamon and it was delicious. Like a slightly thinner version of oatmeal. You can also mix protein powders in with cream of wheat for more protein and different flavors.

It really depends on your program. Were you given written instructions?

My doctor said I could have 2 servings of fruit a day and I get 4 meal passes during the 2 weeks. Meals are supposed to be grilled chicken and vegetables but hey, that is much better than nothing!!

Are you having Protein shakes? This will help with the hunger. I had to have 3-5 a day

Oh I'm only allowed sugar free Jello and broth ugh!!

@@TamaraRae Try chewing ice or sugar free popsicles - it may help you feel like you're eating.

I'm 4 days out too... Only allowed liquids and Protein drinks for 2 weeks. Asked my NUT this morning about chicken broth and she said be careful because of the sodium.

@ If you're up to it - you can make your own stock - which then you can control the sodium but also can add different flavors and it will then have Protein (a double bonus).

I tried my best on the liquid dit but I must admit I ended up cheating quite a bit. Only on high protein low carb stuff though to keep my body in ketosis. Still lost like ten pounds and my surgury went fantastic

I'd have skipped the fruit entirely during my 14 day liquid pre-op diet. It would have made me more hungry afterwards.

My liquid 14 day consisted of 3-4 Protein shakes per day. That and any non-calorie drink I wanted.

I chose Pure Protein brand pre-mixed shakes as they were really thick and seemed to hold me over for longer periods.

You are already 5 days into it.....keep on and keep after it. It will pass soon.

My preop diet was Optifast. So Optifast X 3 plus two serves of specific vegetables and 1tsp olive oil.

The best thing was that the Optifast came in shakes, Soup and bars.

I'm going to try this

I split it into 5 meals.

1. Optifast shake

2. salad w/tsp oil & balsamic vinegar

3. Optifast soup

4. Stir fry veg (no oil)

5. Optifast bar

I was told 2 weeks of liquid diet. About day 6, I had Greek yogurt watered down with almond milk (unsweetened). I followed that with shaved turkey and very thinly sliced deli ham. Those two things saved me mentally. I was becoming very depressed and mentally having a hard time. Once I put those two things in my face, that ended and I started to regain some energy.

Oh... and ice. I was told room temp everything. I started getting ice from sonic and that was a huge deal to me.
