Kimmy1813 77 Posted July 30, 2013 Y'all are so lucky Today is day 8 of my liquid diet and I have 6 more days of it.....the first couple of days I was so hungry I wanted to gnaw my arm off, then it got better....but then yesterday it was bad again. It wasn't even that I was really hungry yesterday, I just wanted some REAL food. I keep telling myself it's all worth it in the end. 1 nydiva reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nydiva 27 Posted July 30, 2013 Can you have broth? Yes for sure, I'd have a cup a day, is swear it tasted like steak. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1sassygal 60 Posted July 31, 2013 Tons of water' date=' sugar free candy and gum and just keeping busy. Also, going to the gym.[/quote'] I've tried it ALL and nothing is helping. I was so weak today I thought I would pass out. I had some egg drop Soup. I hope this doesn't mess up my surgery date for thurs. I just thought I would black out. I'm nervous now.

cindymg 629 Posted July 31, 2013 Sorry to tell you this, but you need to get used to the liquids -- or cancel your surgery now. You'll be doing liquids for another 2-3 weeks after the surgery too. Broths, drink the broths. And not low-sodium. Your body needs salt to survive. Strain chicken noodle or French onion Soup for a satisfying taste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I can do this and it's more mental than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvthecardinals 5 Posted July 31, 2013 Isnt it odd we are all on different combinations of liquid diets for different time frames? Why is that? My surgery is on 8/6. I am on day 2 of 5 of full liquids and then go to Clear Liquids for days 6 and 7. They told me 5-6 Protein Shakes a day and my stomach is still growling. I had a beefy mushroom Soup, strained, and it was yummy! Good luck to you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
