Started My Diet....

[TriciaLN 177]

I started my 2 week liquid diet today and let me just say....I'M HUNGRY!!!!!! I didn't think I would already be this freaked out over not having food, but I guess I am. I try not to think about it, but it's hard to ignore your stomach growling!! Does anyone have any words of wisdom on how to get through the next 2 weeks?? Any advise will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks is advance!!

It will get better. After about 3 or 4 days the headaches and withdrawls will go away. It will be worth it in the end .

Try to keep yourself busy. When I'm on liquids there are some nights I have to go to be early just not to deal with not eating. It's very hard. Stay positive!

It is hard, but I found the second week I wasn't as hungry. I got banded Monday and now hungry again still on liquids, but I am losing wt so it's a good thing. Drink your Protein and Water

All u can do is just keep drinking Water and be patient, eventually your body will adjust to liquids only and u wont be as hungry you will be on liquids only post - op too so sorry to say but u will need to get used to it

You can do this Tricia. Can you sleep through the weekend? I like some of the things said here - go to bed early, drink tons of Water. Drink so much you feel sloshy... it helps with the hunger a bit. And get tons of Protein even in your water, etc. Protein will take the edge off... you're in detox mode! So sorry I know it sucks. Best of luck to you.

Tricia hang in there. I know how u feel I am on day 3 and I am struggling. Drink tons of Water and sleep as much as possible. Be ware u could have diarrhea or Constipation with the Protein intakes because u r not getting anything else. I learned that the hard way.

Thank you everyone!! I am hanging in there. It's hard making meals and Snacks for my kids and seeing it right in front of me!! I have been trying to stay out of the kitchen completely. I know its going to get better and I just keep telling myself the end result will be sooo worth it!! Thanks again!

It was very hard for me too... I just had to focus on why I was doing it and that I was doing it for me and my health. I chewed a lot of sugar free gum, which helped tremendously!
