This is down right brutal at this point. I still have 5 more days to go on the liquid diet and I feel drained and for some reason I'm hungry. Hunger hasn't been an issue since like day 3 I mean I've missed food but haven't been hungry since day 3 but tonight I'm ravenously hungry.

Can anyone throw out some liquid diet ideas maybe u have had something i haven't that I may can try??

Lots of broth and Jello. And sleep. This stage is short lived and you're almost there. Hang in there, you can do this!

I saw egg drop Soup somewhere on these boards. Don't know that it's technically a clear liquid, but it's super low cal and no carbs. I had some on Monday (um, 3 bowls from the local Chinese place) when I was feeling homicidal and like giving up. I had surgery on Wednesday and my liver was still small.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
