So since today is Monday, you've already started you liquid diet!! I hope it's going well. I started mine on Friday and for me it's going a lot smoother than I had expected. If you mess up it's ok, you're human and a liquid diet is difficult for anyone. I have found that drinking water keeps me satisfied with everything. I have either 5 or 6 shakes and 1 or 2 bar....some days it has been very tough to get everything in. I haven't tried and broth or jello or popsicles, however if the shakes start to make me sick after the second week I will try them!! Good luck with your program, I am doing Optifast800, so if you're also doing that defintely try the water, I have about 12 glasses a day- and this has never been something like myself lol!! I had a hard enough time getting 1 or 2 glasses in!

Yep 14 days. I'd be lying if i said i stuck to it 100% cause i surely didn't. But i just had some vegetable broth. tomorrow prolly chicken. beef is disgusting. i am actually tired of broth. i HATE jello, and popsicles are just too cold, but the fudgesicles are good

you had to do two weeks of nothing but clear liquids? i thought that is what i was going to have to do but my doc said it was only two days. but jello/broth/juice for 2 weeks? omg.
although i am not hatin on the broth cuz i just had some for the first time and it is the most yummy thing ever in my life.
