Oh, I remember that    It was a tough slog, but worth it.

Hang in there you are more than half way through it  You'll be glad you did! 

Kudos for sticking to it and best of luck with your surgery.

To me that pre op diet was the hardest , but you are almost done and have done great so dont give up now . I was trying to do that and was only about 3 weeks of not smoking . Boy, my family wanted to move to the hotel during those 10 days lol.

Find something to do to keep your mind busy to help pass the time . I always went to bed early during that time it helped alot .

I drank a small glass of milk before bedtime. It helped to keep the belly from growling while you are trying to sleep .

Thanks everyone. I froze a protein shake to pretend it was a milk shake. I still wanted to eat but reminded myself that I wasn't hungry.

I don't know what your diet consists of. My saving grace was gum..Chewing Gum made me feel like I was chewing on something so I felt better.. :)
Also I found different flavor soups, a little variety helps with the liquid diet as well

Good Luck
