Liquid Diet May Be The Hardest Thing I've Ever Done!

[OilSooner 23]

On my liquid diet I am only allowed 5 sugar free carnation instant Breakfast drinks per day. WTF!!!

I have been going to therapy as a compulsive/binge eater, so this diet is unbearable!

Why do some people get to have salads at night, or protien shots/drinks, and we only get these stupid instant breakfasts??? My BMI is 40, so i don't know if that's too high or what.

Anyway, just venting...

btw, I HATE THE liquid DIET!!!!!!

Surgery on the 17th.....cant get here soon enough.

Wow, we are very similar. My BMI is like 40.5 and my surgery is on the 17th as well. Fortunately my surgeon doesn't have a liquid diet requirement, just the day before surgery I can only have Clear liquids. However, I am starting the Protein shakes today as a supplement to lunch and Snacks, just to get used to them over the next week. I figure if we get used to them now, then maybe it won't be so bad afterwards. and 2 thoughts come to mind, 1) these things are kinda gross, so it'll give us time to figure out recipes ahead of time, but then 2) we'll probably want something that actually has taste to it and these will taste awesome afterwards......got me. But i figure if we start with it now, it won't be so shocking afterwards.

Stick with it and post on here if you start to feel weak and the food demons start a-calling :-) Use this as your venting place. I'll be here to listen! We are going through this together!
