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. 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

Hang in there, it will pass by so fast and then you will soon have your new best friend, your band. Good luck to you!

You can do this! It will be over before you know it (I hope).

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.
