My surgery is this Wens. and I've been on a liquid diet for a week now. I know I have to do this but I'm starting to have doubts. I really really miss eating! It's probably just nerves but I hate second guessing myself. :(

You will be fine. After surgery, and once you are back on regular food, you will be happily eating; but if like me, you will have to remind yourself to eat because you won't be hungry all the time any more.

There are absolutely times when I miss eating, especially at first. When I couldn't eat more than 4 (veggie) chicken nuggets, or just a couple bites of anything. Boy do I miss those days :P

It gets easier. Now I see people eating half a pizza or something and get a little nauseas just thinking "I used to eat like that?!"

And a liquid diet will make anyone miss food!

You'll be fine :)

Not being hungry might make it easier. Right now I AM hungry and it's so hard when hubby warms his dinner. The smell of food makes me want it but I want to be thin even more so I have not cheated once!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! :)

The 3rd-4th week I was pretty unhappy....I wanted food......but the fifth week I was eating food......and a happy camper....but it is hard at the early stages, because it's just difficult to eat much as your stomach is still swollen and recovering..not being hungry is a nice change.....

My fiancé volunteered to go on the liquid diet with me. I was sooooo grateful for that :)

That's so sweet...nice to have a supportive partner.....before the liquid diet, I froze some meals and told hubby he's on his own while I was on liquids

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
