I'm on day 11 of my 14 day liquid diet. It has been ROUGH. The hunger definite lessens toward the end, but I absolutely crave food. I keep telling Myself it's more important to do this than eating that food. I'm literally taking my days one minute at a time. When a craving comes or I don't feel good in that moment, I think of something sweet or savory. Like a Popsicle or broth and have those. It helps it's not the same as eating pizza but it helps. Keep putting one foot in front of another.... You got this!!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

Just wondering why you all decided to have your procedure in Mexico? Curious. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

My mouth is super dry also. I am drinking allllll day long but it's never enough. Ugh. Oh well.... One more week and it will all be worth it!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

35 days?!?! Oh wow! That's intense. Why so long? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

Not TMI and YESsss. I had four days of straight liquid BM. It was miserable. Now it's tapered off and nothing is happening but I'm on day 6. I am starting to not feel hungry at all which I never thought the day would come. But I'm forcing liquids and broths down. One more week for me.... That's what I keep telling myself. I would for sure call the Dr just to check in if you're feeling uncomfortable about what's happening or you have questions. My office has told me a billion times call with questions, and they keep calling me to see if I have any. LOL. I hope this helps!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

Omg I know exactly how you feel. I'm on my pre op liquid diet and can NOT get them down. I'm suffering pretty hard right now. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

I feel so guilty or like something is wrong with me. I can't get these things down. Ugh. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone I feel so guilty or like something is wrong with me. I can't get these things down. Ugh. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

Yay! You're in the club of April dates. Haha I am from Maine. I was informed recently that a large percentage of Americans think that Maine is part of Canada. It's not. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

I am allowed to have Protein shakes/drinks, Water, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, decaf coffee/tea, calorie free decaf any type of drink. I am a diabetic T2 and have to use everything that is sugar free, so it is hard for me to hit 800 calories a day on this diet (that is the amount of calories permitted). I can have the same things. But also Greek yogurt plain with no fruit or chunks. It's pretty difficult... But I'm ending my third day and I think tomorrow will be a bit easier. I HOPE anyway. LoL. I do agree that getting 800 cals in is difficult. Ugh. It's not fun but it's a means to an end right? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

@@Heatherg0907 think positive thoughts. I know how cliche and annoying it can be to hear that, but you truly can set yourself up for failure if you begin by thinking you're going to fail. I will say a prayer for you and your success this time around!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

I am LOVING the support and all of the dates close or same as mine! It is sort of nice knowing I'm not alone in my misery. LoL Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

@@kjwrn thank you! I'm struggling today but it is better than yesterday I suppose. If only because it's two days closer to the end. Hahaha Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone

That's cool Brittney! Thanks for the ice tip! I forgot they had suggested that in classes. I've been drinking like its my job! Do you want to keep in touch and be my "pal" through this?! I'm getting in my own head about all of it. Thankfully I do have a super supportive husband, who is handling my misery well. LoL. Good luck on your diet! And I'll say a prayer for you on Surgery day!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
