HOW DID YOU COPE ON YOUR LIQUID DIET?? !!!

I know it is necessary...I know in the end, it will be worth it.....but HOW DID YOU STAY SANE ON THE LIQUID DIET??!!??    My surgery is Monday the 30....today is day 3 of my liquid diet........we went to the orchard over the weekend....and I want a big fat juicy ripe peach!!!!  Or...salad............well....I have 4 days 8 hours 11 minutes and 49 seconds until the big day.!!!!!!!!!!!

For me, the third day was the hardest.  It seemed to get much better after that.  Try to keep yourself busy and push fluids.  Unfortunately, it sucks.  Hang in there!!!  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

day 3 and 4 were the hardest. i had to do this for fourteen days. Hang in there. YOu will be happy you did. keep yourself occupied. good luck 

I can totally feel were you are coming from. Im 11 days post op and still on liquids. Icant having anything but popsicals, on-calorie drinks and those nasty protin shacks. I swear im about to go kill someone for some food. I have to say though that today i have been sneeking some tiny tiny bites of food. I just cant help it. How much water can i actually drink.  I didnt have to go on any diet before my surgery, which i think is making this process eben harder. but remeber that you will be skinny and happy, thats all that matters. i have already lost 20 pounds in all of 11 days. i cant even belive it. Good luck and KIT. Mary

just tell yourself it's not the end of the world.  Those peaches will be there next year.  And next year you'll really enjoy them.  You may even be able to climb the tree and pick the best one.  Salad too.  Know that by doing the liquid diet before makes your surgery go easier.  You could do it. I was weird, I love Optifast so I didn't mind doing it. You're doing great.  Just look at the big picture down the road.  it makes it all worth while. Koukla 338/176
