HELLO....

well I have been put on the LIQUID DIET.... and I am dying... any one slip up the first couple of days.... I'm starving I cant take it any more.... someone please help... Im gonna go crazy... I almost feel like its not worth it...  I just dont know...

I haven't had surgery yet, but I've read others comments about the liquid diet.  They say have more shakes in between meals and if you slip up just get right back on the wagon!! They also say the first few days are the worst, then it gets easier. Good luck to you! 

I have done the 2 weeks of hell lol.. well i did eat a salad everyday as it want to water and did a few shakes to.. but i wish you my best and i thinking of ya..  but you can do it ....

its gonna be tough, but from what I hear the first few days are the worst.  You can do it Jessica, keep busy, REALLY busy.... your almost there.... good luck, cheryl

I was starving too when I tried to do it before my surgery. I ended up having one meal a day usuappy for dinner and made sure I ate low fat, low cal and only what I needed not to feel hungry... example lean cuisine. I also would have low fat yogurts for snacks. I went to the gym as much as I could those last two weeks and lost 7 lbs those two weeks. I really had wanted to lose 10. It's important to do your best because it will make it easier for the doc to do his/her work. It is worth giving the most you can right now. I truly believe that because I worked out three times a week and started practicing healthier eating habits months before my surgery helped in my recovery. I was ready to go back to work within six days...unfortunately my work didn't take me bac****il my doc signed off on it which was after my second week. Take it one day at a time. I KNOW you can do it! Good Luck to you!

This is gonna be the toughest part!  It's gotta be hard!  I've always admired those who could do the liquids for 2 weeks pre-op!!!   All I can say is........keep your chin up, stay busy, keep drinking your water.........keep the prize in sight......it'll all be worth it in the end!!!!!!!!  

Hang in there. You're so close now. You can do it and you will. It is hard but you will see results and that will keep you motivated.

Jessica...just tell yourself that this is the hardest part...and "things" will get easier from here...and just keep the end results in the back of your mind. 
For me the 2nd week was much easier...but you can do this...
believe me, I know it's hell and damn hard...but also remember that the weight you lose before surgery makes the surgery that much easier for your surgeon and for you as well.  My surgeon says it's to shrink the liver which he has to (literally) move during the procedure. 
I was a type II diabetic and diabetic's tend to have fatty livers...Dr. Clough said everything looked really good once he got in there...
Keep all that stuff in mind...and I know you can do this...and remember, we're all here anytime you need to "vent" or whatever is needed...we're all here for ya !!

Take Care and all the best to you !!

I'm not going to lie....for me it just sucked eggs - I was hungry all the time, unlike most people who are ok after 3 days or so. The good news is it was totally worth it. You can do it.

 with the liguid diet you have to take in alot of protien
buy one with the higest protien this really helps keep you full

Hang in their........... you can do this ..it's worth it .. don't give up
