The struggle is real..

I just started day one of the liquid diet. Ugh I didn't think I would have an issue, but darn...the struggle is real!! So hungry, but a protein shake is just filling me up, its not satisfying me. Oh well. I can do it!

    Yes, you can do it! It gets easier with time. Just don't wait until you are hungry to have something. If you stay out in front of it and structure the meals, it will be a lot easier. I was lik

I was like caffeine free coffee, then protein shake, then broth, then protein shake, then green veggie juice, then protein shake, then broth if I needed it. I was having something every few hours, and drinking water in between. I never felt hunger at all. I was actually tired of drinking (eating).

Just keep plugging away. You will be done with all of this liquid craziness in due time.

Exactly what DropWt4Life said. You can soldier through this, most of us had to just get through it and it will be worth it. After a couple days you won't be as hungry - you will be bored - lol - so find something to occupy your mind - a book, a hobby, a marathon Netflix session, a long walk, etc.

Good luck - you are almost to the 'other side'.

Watching closely -- pretty sure you can do it, feel free to vent here!

Oh my gosh you guys! Thanks! I can do it!! I will drink more!

I totally second that about the broth! The broth saved me in those days. It breaks up the monotonous sweet with some much needed salt! Yep, you can do it!

YES!! You can do this!! Remember why you are even doing the drinks and keep your eyes on the prize!!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! BTW the broth is wonderful...you get something hot and it breaks up the monotony of the cold drinks. Also, I'm not sure if you can have coffee (maybe DEcaf if you are a coffee drinker) add some of your protein drinks to it.

This is not easy but you've the right attitude: you can do it! Sometimes something as challenging as this is made all the easier when you know it's a hard requirement. This is something you must do.
