I am so hungry. Today is day 5 of the liquid diet.



Recommended Posts

How do you do it? I am so hungry that I feel sick to my stomach. I am not sure I can do another 9 days. Any advice?

Suck it up, Buttercup. You CAN do this. You're worth it. It gets easier around day 5. Stay busy, chew gum, sleep, stay away from loved ones, apologize in advance, starts looking at websites of all the clothes you'll want to buy....

You can do it. One day still a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time.....

I am on day 12 of my Optifast. After about day 5 or 6, it got much easier. When I have my Soup, I'm very full. Yesterday I actually had to remind myself to drink my last shake of the day. Wasn't hungry at all. I have also felt very good on the liquid diet after about day 6 - lots of energy, etc. But yes, the first 5-6 days SUCKED!

      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?

      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.
