I kno it's hard but the diet is for a reason. As long as your cheats are modest and once a meal max and you don't go over board you should be ok. I would try to cheat less tho especially getting closer to surgery. Bc on the clear liquid diet you want to cheat more than anything and you can't! If you do you will get sick throw up and cause a leak in your sleeve. It's an addiction trust me I know. But you can get through this! Good luck, mind over matter!!!!

I had to do two weeks of liquids also. I found eating something HOT helped and I was allowed to have cream based Soups. I found that the most satisfying Soup for me was Tomato Soup made with low fat milk. It kept me fuller than the shakes and the warmth of it helped. The liquid diet helps your liver shrink down in size and makes your surgery easier to perform. I was allowed to have as much Soup as I wanted in addition to the Meal Replacement shakes.

One mistake I made in the beginning was thinking I could interchange the Soups and the shakes, but I learned quickly that the shakes are MANDATORY, they are Meal Replacement and will help keep you full and give you Protein. The filler soups are for in between, but again, they helped me because they were warm. It got better after three consistent days of sticking with it.

If you are struggling with hunger maybe your doctor will prescribe something for hunger. Call and talk to them about your struggles.

I did too, you will be fine. I agree with Ortega though, don't over do it! Once a day or less with something is modest. My nut said I could have a 1/4 cup of almonds once a day for the first three days if I needed to chew something. Totally helped me curve my cravings. Good luck, you can do it!

If you're on day 3 and eating a whole tuna sandwich, i'd be concerned about causing a leak. Your stomach isn't healed yet. Please be kind to it and let it heal. At this point its not about the weight loss. Its about not injuring yourself.

Is potato soup an option

Stanley I can't tell you how I craved food on TV. Food I never even wanted before, but I got through it like most of us do! Stay focused and positive and use the forum to rant rave or even cry to us! We've been there done or doing that, not to mention your helping out someone else who is about to go through this! Your stronger and braver than you know!!!

No, not according to my doctor. No chunks of anything is what his diet was. I could have cream of chicken Soup and cream of mushroom (light versions) and I had to strain them. Also, was allowed the Tomato Soup. I could have sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello too. Your nutritionist should give you a sheet with what you are allowed. Have you received one or asked them for one?

Good luck with your diet. It is difficult but try not to over do the cheats. After the surgery you won't be able to because the possibility of a leak is to great. I will be praying that it will get easier.
