Day 4 was better for me with the weakness, headaches, and sickness, but the hunger has not subsided. I have 4 days until my surgery, too. I can't have another sip of broth to save my life, but I'm drinking my shakes and Water faithfully. Best wishes.

I'm not turning back now. I went through too much the past 9 days to quit. LOL

I had a revelation about this liquid diet. Clearly, I was addicted to the wrong foods which is why I went through the horrible withdrawals and all the other side effects. I feel bad for drug addicts because their withdrawals last much longer and I don't know of a surgery that will help keep them from going back to their addiction. We are blessed to have this opportunity.

The best news...my insurance will pay 100% of the surgery since I met my deductible. That's like going shopping and getting everything 90% off (10% goes to my new grocery list).

Great point! Its weird, I don't wake up hungry. Today is Day 3 of my liquid diet and Day 3 of no cigarettes. Today is better than the first two days! My one big issue is shaking. So I have had 1 Tbsp. of shredded roast chicken breast. That stops the shaking. I cant do that on Days 8, 9 & 10 though. This is VERY hard, I could never have imagined the level of difficulty.

Are you on for 7 days or for 14 days on liquids?

Day 10 for me of my 2wks liquid diet, not including the day before surgery of just Clear Liquids. I really haven't had much hunger, but I've put a lot of effort into making my shakes interesting. I'll add fruit, no sugar flavor syrups, flavor extracts, etc and try different recipes. For Breakfast today, I'm having a pumpkin pie flavored Protein Shake (pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, little bit of skim milk and Water, and Protein powder). Throw it all in the blender for a min with about a cup of ice and voila - a nice frothy (and big) protein shake that takes me awhile to drink. Your body will get used to it!

I don't know how you quit smoking at the same time. Really struggling on Optifast. I am only allowed Water, 1 cup of broth a day, and one sugar fee jello..not allowed anything else. I still have to cook and feed my special needs child and I work in a group home ,where I cook and serve meals for clients. This is really kicking my butt![emoji51] I am on day 5, have 9 days left. Almost wish they could have hospitalized me for the pre-op!
