Help I am starving!! Only clear liquids today...m

and I am dying - How do I get through this day??

Try to think of it as a relief! This is your freedom from food day! Clear liquids are tough, but if you just keep something consistently going in, I promise you you will get through it. And, in a few days you'll be here rejoicing about the first 10lbs coming right off your feet and ankles! lol.

Try to focus on something else, like walking, walking, walking. Remember all that you have read here, go back and read again. This is done so that your tummy can heal and your band can be anchored in place by scar tissue. Forcing your tummy to grind and churn solid foods at this point could hinder the process and contribute to slippage later on. Have Jello, broth, coffee, tea, Crystal Light anything that you can see through EXCEPT carbonated beverages. NO carbonation. Just keep it going through constantly and I swear you will make it!

Jello is great! Popcicles, broth, tea, are also good. You can do it, and tomorrow you will be on your way!

I don't miss those days, the day before or the 14 that followed. I was only on Clear Liquids the day before surgery, yea! Then liquids, (what ever I could get through a straw) the next 14 days. Thank goodness for the mushy stage. I had creamed Soups and if in doubt, add a little liquid and run it through a blender. I'm so glad my doctor wasn't set on "clear" liquids. Good Luck.
