Almost Liquid Diet

Today I started the pre-liquid diet because I am an eater and I needed to transition. My pre-liquid is actually a liquid diet that the surgeon gave but but also include vegetable pureed soup, and oranges, limes and grapefruit.

I've spent the day laying down as if I am going to die of misery. Later in the afternoon I felt better and got motivated to make my beef soup. It's still boiling and I am too excited.

This morning I had a protein drink, and peppermint tea. Brunch I had orange juice, 2 jello cups and a yogurt. I was sooo hungry. Lunch the wonderful tomato and herb soup. I've never thought that tomato soup would be so delicious. :crying: I had 1 more cup of orange juice and I am waiting on my beef soup to be done so that I can strain the broth.

Question is why can't we have vegetables anyway? The whole theory is to shrink the liver. Maybe they also want your stomach to shrink.

I can do this. I can do this. I am scheduled for 11-9-09

Thank you for your comments. I felt I was on detox yesterday. I used the bathroom quite a lot. My sister is on the liquid diet too (out of support for me) and had the same reaction. This morning I was not hungry at all. I forced myself to drink orange juice and going out to get more vitamins and protein drink. I am going to drink tea and have a yogurt for lunch. Again not hungry just feel my body a little weak so I am going to have something before it gets worse.

Oh my gosh...its nice to know someone felt the same way I did. :) My pre surgery diet was made up of foods from their "store", it was like eating a cardboard box, so as long as I had my calories in I just went with the shakes and bars. The thing that got me was (and I am not sure how appropriate this is) was they had to stop all the hormone therapy, i.e. birth control so that made have pms......AND I COULDNT EAT!! My family almost killed me! :scared2: Congrats for making it through the first days!!

Hi Chrissynena...you made me laugh better I was just on the phone with my sister telling her how I am pms-ing and I am miserable. I said all I want is some boiled vegetables. I want to chew a hot meal. (which reminds me I need to buy suger-free gum). Uhhh, so yes. I've had major arguments today. I am trying so hard but I am not happy (so no one can be, lol, ok ok I'll apologized tomorrow after I buy my gum to chew on). Tomorrow we will see.
