Uugghh...this is the day I was dreading. Two weeks of liquid prep. I am so hungry. I know this has importance to help with a successful surgery. This is going to be a tough mental challenge.

Any tips on how you made it through?

Keep yourself busy. When I wasn't at work I was scrubbing my house from top to bottom to keep my mind off food. The first few days are the worst but after that it gets much easier. You can do it! [emoji1303]

I agree keep yourself busy... the first 2-3 days are the hardest but once you get through those I felt better. I've been on it for a week and half and have struggled some but after changing the protein shakes I was originally using and finding a broth that works for me (the sodium was making me feel so sick) I am doing better. I also noticed when I am at work with nothing to really do I think I about food and hunger more than if I am busy.

At others said, first few days are the worst.

If you've had a ton of carbs/sugars before your diet, it's also very likely you will go through both psychological and physiological withdrawal. That's why when I started my liquid diet I warned my wife I could be very pissy for a while, and indeed I was.

I'm almost to the end, Sunday is my last day. In the beginning, I went to bed early. My diet is a little different but was still hard and tough mentally and physically in the beginning. You can do this. It just gets easier and easier.

I'm allowed food. I'd be losing my mind on just liquids

Its very hard I'm on day 12 and ive lost 13 pounds my surgery Monday!! Hang in there in a couple days you don't even be that hungry... Only thing I'm allow is shakes,broth,sf jello,sf Popsicles and I'm so over it already myself lol.

Day #8 and as you all shared it has become easier. I'm even finding I have to remember to have a shake as I'm not getting those hunger pangs.

Last day of actual food for me. Clear liquids tomorrow. Surgery Monday!

Well it is the night before surgery and I did it. This was a tough two weeks. Thank you for the support!

I start my 2 weeks of shakes on Sunday. My surgery is June 12th. I'm scared to death about the hunger pains.

LOL! I'm praying that I will survive this!
