Liquid Diet - 2 Week Trial

I'm on day 3 of 2 week liquid diet trial and holy cow, I can't stop thinking about food. Any tips or tricks to help me get my mine off eating? At work there is chocolate everywhere! :( What are your favorite recipes for all liquid diet that make you feel satisfied?

I really loved hard on the Pho broth. :)

And Miso soup.

Sugar free popsicles and jello.

thanks for the tips, I'll try them!

it got easier after day 3 or 4. The first couple days are by far the worst.

I agree with the above poster about SF popsicles and SF Jello - I ate those with abandon as they resembled real food (even though they weren't!!)

I'll try them! Thanks!

Why are you doing a trial of the liquid diet?

The first 3-4 days tend to be the worst and then it gets slightly less sucky. Keep yourself as busy as possible.

I'm working with the dietitian who is a part of the weight loss surgeon's team doing the sleeve on me in the near future. He has a prerequisite that all patients do the 2 week trial as well as drop 20 pounds before he'll even see you. I've got 7 days in now for the liquid diet and have dropped 18 pounds since I got the call from the surgeon's office saying I was no longer on the waiting list. :)

Diet is getting better now, I don't feel like I'm slowing starving myself to death. lol

Ugh, I'm sorry. That's a pretty crappy and arbitrary requirement :(

I'm glad it's getting better!

Thanks, I really think so too, but good thing is it's helping me get the weight off that he wants!

Distract. Distract. Distract. I posted a list of 100 things to do instead of eat on my fridge and would use it when head hunger was spiking. At work (school teacher) I flat out had to stop going to the staff room. The billion birthday treats that were delivered daily were discretly raffled off to my students once the cutie left and just in general I adjusted around the constant barrage of sugar. Eliminate all trigger foods from home.
