I'm only on Day 2 of my liquid diet (pre-op) and I'm STARVING. How do people make it? All I wanna do is sleep just so I can get the 2 weeks out of the way before surgery. I know thats not an option and in all honesty I have to get used to the liquid diet. Can someone please give me some suggestions on how to get through this.

Thank you so much more the info. I feel a lot better knowing that soup and popsicles count for liquids. I'm eating the greek yogurt for protein instead of the shakes (I just can't stomach another one of those for awhile)

Hello fello November sleevers. I had my surgery Nov 21 and surprisingly I feel GREAT. I had no pain, soreness or anything just dealing with how food and liquids feel in my sleeve. I have a question I'm in phase 2 this week which is full liquids. I'm having a terrible time getting all of my water in, not b/c I don't like water but because I'm just not thirsty and I now find myself only eating once a day and snack on popsicles. Any suggestions? I don't meet with the nutritionist for another 2 weeks

I will admit I too have cheated. I'm down to my last 3 days before surgery and I've eaten all green salads without dressing or steamed broccli once each day for the past couple of days. I'm terrified that my liver hasn't shrunk enough and my doctor won't do the surgery. I've only lost 12lbs so far and my doctor didn't tell me how much weight needed to be lost just that if my liver hadn't shrunk he wouldn't do the surgery. :frown2: I'm sooooo scared, can someone please tell me if my veggie sabotages have ended my chances of surgery

Does anyone suffer from hiccups more often now?

Hi, my surgery is on Nov 21 and can't wait. Suffering through the liquid diet but trying to stay focused.

I can no longer stomach the shakes and its too early for me to give up on them now. I can probably get a total of 4 oz in me for an entire day and the rest of the day i drink water, can anyone please suggest something. I'm at my wits end. I guess I was more of a foodie than I thought

I'm new to this site but soooo happy I found it. I'm on Day 3 of my liquid diet (have to be on it for 2 weeks) and I too am ALWAYS hungry. Thank you sooo much for posting this. I've been trying to do this on water and shakes alone and dying a slow death. I'm gonna try the sf jello
