Hi, I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. It was very hard the first few days for me, but it has gotten better. One thing that I do is I am constantly drinking Water or crystal light. Then about 1/2 hour before I need to drink a shake, I stop drinking liquid. I try to drink my shake as slowly as possible and then wait to drink anything else until about 1/2 later. It helps me feel more satisfied somehow. I've already lost almost 14 lbs! Hope this helps.

Shanna,:thumbup:

Thank you so much for your advise. I don't think I have been drinking enough liquids. Today is going better and I've lost 6.9 lbs in 3 days. That

does help knowing it is making a diffence. Thanks again. Do you know if we

can have SF hard candy while on the liquid stage? Someone suggested

it.

I'm not sure if we can or not. I know that sf candy can sometimes have sugar alcohol in it, which we shouldn't have, so I don't know. Sorry.

I will be seeing my surgeon next Tuesday and they are going to try and do my surgery for my birthday which is Oct 15. Which diet shrinks the liver? The high Protein or the liquid. I want to get started so when I see him I will say I am already dieting so he can do it soon.

Cheryl,

The liquid diet is the one that shinks your liver. It is also a high Protein diet.

You get 5 of the SF Carnation Breakfast Meals a day,But you must add Extra

protien to it. 20mg a day extra. I add some to each shake. Then every thing

else should be Clear Liquids. Up to at least 64 oz.

Good Luck!!!

Cyndi! You can do it, girl!!! Just think of the jump start you're going to get on your losing, the less you'll have to lose when you get your band. I haven't started mine yet, but when I do, I'm going to think about the suggestions that Shanna gave you. I'm cheering for you!!! =)

One more week for me for this liquid diet thing! My surgery is one week away. My blender and I have become very good friends!

I've added sugar free Jello pudding powder to my Protein shakes...not sure if this is really "allowed", but it does make them taste better.
