Me too...I'm on day 7. The first 5 days were horrible, but yesterday I seemed to have turned a corner. Thank goodness because I am one of those people that gets "hangry" and for those first 5 days, I wanted to kill everyone and everything in my path! LOL!

However, I will say that warm liquids are your friend and will help you to feel the most satisfied. Try to stick with those! Hang in there! You CAN do this!!!

I'm on the pre-op diet to at the moment, day six for me. Mine is two shakes and then light dinner, so not 100% liquid. I definitely felt like it got easier after the third day. Day 2 and 3 were really rough. I was hungry and tired pretty much all day. Day 6 though and I'm doing alright.

So, with it only being 2 days you probably won't have time to get "used" to it, but this phase will be over soon at least.

My surgery is tomorrow at 2pm! I had to do a 2 day liquid diet before my surgery. I've never been so hungry in my life! I don't think I can make it! I'm going to crack LOL

My surgery is tomorrow, Jun 7th. I've been on this liquid diet for two weeks! I'm down 13 lbs. I'm a 54 yr old male war veteran and haven't been this nervous in a long time. Is it too late to change my mind? Maybe I just won't show up. Will they come looking for me? Lol

I do not think they will most definitely go looking for you, but it will just be your loss.

You came to far to turn back or have al change of mind. There is also lot we have to go through for this special gift that GOD has awarded you a NEW LIFE. DO NOT GIVE UP, HANG IN THERE.I promise you you will be soooooooooo much happier later.☺☺

Keep drinking fluids...whatever your plan allows because it definitely helps. I'm on Day 9 of 14 and it's definitely gotten better. For me, it's been a good lesson in what is actual hunger and what is "head" hunger.

You WILL make it!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
