Second day of liquid diet, First day was not so hard but today i am hungry, any suggestions? How did you make it through 2 weeks of no food in a big stomache? HELP:eek:

Hi, I had juices, tomatoe,orange at first, then after a few days went to chicken noodle soup in a box-added peas--they are soft. Moved on to mashed pot and fish or chicken baked or boiled. Lots of mashed pot's in 1/2 cup containers. Also used was shakes, Ensure with two multivitamins. Shakes can be ok for two meals. Did this for first 9 days. Drink water in between and eat at 4 hour intervals, 3 times. Oh I added sugarfree jello and pudding and popsicles for late snacks- 7 or 8 pm.

You're pre-op right? It sucked and I whined a lot...but eventually it DOES get easier (around day 4 or 5) HOWEVER...if you cheat, the suckiness starts back over...similar to being a heroine addicted..coming down sucks but if you start doing it again then you have to go through the suckiness all over again. Good luck, you can do it. It sucks, but you can do it! (SF jello, popsicles, jello, popsicles...all day long, got so tired of them I got tired of eating in general after a while)

Thanks for the advice!!
