STARVING

Today is the first day of my 10 day liquid fast and I am starving and ticked off at the world and it is only 11am. How do people make it through this?

I think the fisrt day is the worst day.  Hang in there!

You can do it. Keep your chin up. What surgery are you having?

OK. I don't feel so bad. I was actually relieved my surgery date was after Christmas, bad I know. I keep reading how great these protein drinks are and let me tell you what I can't even stand the smell and I have put everything in them.

The first few days are the toughest. You can do this... Remember what is waiting for you at the end of that liquid diet.. 

Keep yourself busy, and it will be easier to keep your mind off of it.. 

Keep your chin up sweetie..  If you need to talk, yell, scream, vent, anything, I am here for you..

The first day is the worst! Today is my 5th day and I have to say it is hard for me to get 5 shakes in a day. I can usually do 4. I think it will be easier when I get back to work because that will be all I have to eat. I have not really been hungry and the chocolate ones are the only ones I can tolerate. I have put 2 packs in about 12 oz with ice and it is ok.
I have 7 more days to go!
Talk top ya soon,

I'm on day 3.  I hear ya!  I want to eat so bad!  It will be better after the surgery.  My son and husband just ate dinner and the smell of it was killing me!!!

Somebody gets cottage cheese!  I'm so jealous!

So I'm on 3 slim fasts a day and sugar free jello.  Do I have it right?
 
During my pre-op examination the office forgot to tell me what to eat for the week before my surgery.  I called and when the nutritonist called back she sounded in a rush and just said three slim fasts a day and sugar free jello. 

I'm sorry, but this is downright impossible.  I tried for two days and when i couldn't stop shaking I had half a bowl of tomato basil soup today for lunch.  I got full very fast and immediately stopped eating.

I can't get in touch with my nutritionist to get some set guidelines on this thing.  Hopefully I haven't ruined things by having the half bowl of soup.

Has anyone else been asked to just have 3 shakes and jello for a week? If so, how did you get through it?
