Day 2 of liquid diet....How's everybody doin?

So, this is day two. I know there are several others on their liquid diets now. I just want to know how everyone is getting along. I know that since we have different doctors that our choices on the liquid diet are different. For instance, with Dr. Price, we're only allowed protein shakes and water and our vitamins.

I felt good yesterday and today. I almost feel a sense of relief that I don't have to "fight" with myself over food choices anymore. I just know I am not having anything so that I can have this surgery. I've worked too hard for it.

Well, I mowed the yard this evening and it wore me out! More than usual. I don't know if it was the humidity or just because I don't have as much energy since I'm not consuming as many calories. I'd think that my body would eat my stored fat so I'd have energy. Anyone experience this? Is everyone else tired, or do you feel pretty good?
I feel like I've come out of my "carb fog" but have a pretty bad headache.

Hi Brandy, Today is my first day on the liquid diet & I am doing great!   Much better than I thaught I would.  We are supposed to drink 5 shakes or 100 gm of protein/day.  There is no way I will do that today, I have only had 3 shakes.  I will have to try harder tomarrow.  I feel so full, I don't know how I could get those other 2 in.   Today I had a lo carb slim fast for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I also had some vegetable soup broth for lunch and alot of crystal lite & water throughout the day.  But suprisingly I am not hungry at all.  Hopefully tomarrow will go as well as today.  I went out in the garden & picked greenbeans & just about died!  I think it was the humidity tho, because I feel great otherwise.

Hi Brandy
 Today I had 2 slimfast and 1 adkins shake ,1/2 c of chicken broth,1/2 c s/f peach jello,lots of water not sure how much though,and tried some 6-star whey protein powder. I was a big pepsi drinker and i am wanting one so bad right now,I have a major headache,so i hope caffine (sp) withdrawl dosen't last long.

Well, it's now day 3 and I'm feeling kind of "lank". I drank 5 slimfast's yesterday, a couple cups of beef broth, 1  sugar free jello and some pickle juice  cause I was desparate. (Maybe I'll get rid of all my head hunger now!!!)

Today, I don't feel as lethargic and headachey, so maybe it is going to get better. I must say, I don't know how I would do it without the magic bullet. I put the slimfast in, fill it with ice, add my vitamins and it's really pretty good. I also get brain freeze from it, so it has helped me start "sipping" instead of gulping!

Hang in there girls, we're getting closer and closer!!! Liz

Hello to all who are on the liquid diet.  It does get better and eventually it will feel normal.  I am on my last and final day of liquid.  No slimfast at all, just liquid.  I am having surgery tomorrow and totally execited.  The diet is to shrink the liver so surgery will be easier, you will feel tired more often due to lack of carbs.  I started to feel better around day 5.  I know you all can do this ti does go so fast now that I think of it.  Good luck to you all and my prayers are with you.


Blessings,
