I am right there with ya! I have found myself craving salad (of all things). Just trying to get those thoughts out of my head. We can do this!

I feel like today is worse than yesterday... Hopefully it gets better. I have the rest of this week and next before surgery...aghhhh!!!

And about the cravings....I'm craving anything but what I'm able to have lol...anything!! Lol my daughter was having a graham cracker today and It looked so good and usually that'd be the last thing id want haha

no tips other than to drink hot tea and gulp water-that will be the last time you will gulp Water. I slammed it all day before surgery and I still battle post-op with taking too big of a sip and having to hold it in my mouth and slowly swallow it.

It's rough but you will get through it. Take it one day at a time and know that hot liquids fill your stomach better than cold.

My only advice is to stay busy. I planned busy days for myself so I wouldn't have as much time to think about how much I hated it. I organized/cleaned, took my kiddos to park literally anything I could think of. Will also tell u that going to store-even Walmart is difficult...try to avoid if possible.

It will pass! You can do this!

me too. doing good but it's terrible.

i'm actually lucky because i can have SF pudding,Jello, yogurt, and raw veg...plus i confirmed today that GUACAMOLE is considered raw veg with my doc...so it's my best friend today!

i know that this is ALL about shrinking the liver, but i can't believe that we have to go from eating the things we were, to eating 'liquids'. uggg!

two weeks of time put in to hopefully add decades to my life, i will survive. good luck!
