Clear Liquids

[MumtoJackson 5]

Hi all!

My surgery is on the 18th and I'm about to start the clear liquid diet. I'm nervous about feeling so hungry on it and I'm wondering if you all have any tips or secrets you would like to share? Or is the hunger unavoidable and I just need to deal with it? That's fine too, just want to know going in.

Thanks soooo much!

Molly

Get plenty of Protein and Water. Whenever you're hungry, drink drink drink.

I started earlier than required so I could ease into it. Be strong. You can do it!

Doesnt seem to be a way to get rid of hunger except trying to satisfy yourself with more Water. Im on day 2 and feeling much better than yesterday. Its hard but for my life, i gotta do it

there are no tips and secrets.

you just do what you have to do.

the first 4 days were the hardest (to me)

and once i got past that (and put my woe is me and i am starving drama)

behind me, it was fairly easy.

the Protein is your food..your fuel...drink it......use the other items you can use

to your hearts content to keep you full...this is much more a mind game then just doing

without food. trust me, you wont starve. that is all in your head.

also, dont cheat. that is only cheating yourself.

you can do this. you can. i know you can.

you now just have to believe that.
