I started my liquid diet and my tummy hurts....
I am not sure what your Dr. has you on... But I am allowed to use crystal light sugar free (no carb stuff) to mix with water...
not much better than Kool-aid but different than water. I found that if you keep pounding the water, (I drink 6 34oz. containers a day) and it is real hard to get hungry when your belly is constantly full of water.
I use that berry flavored "hydration" kind that they have...
Not the same as a chicken fried steak with gravy & Spuds... but I have eaten enough to get where I am right now... the H2O is good now...
I dunno if this helps or not... but it helps me.
I put myself on a liquid protein diet 3 weeks ago, so far I dropped 33#... Tummy Kidneys butt you name it it hurts... But I am Stoked about losing the weight before the operation... I will keep myself on this until the day comes... be it 2 or 3 months down the road... I know it will make the operation easier for the Dr., I also know that I will already have my metabolism on a roll for the future... Just keep it up! and remember it is only a short term compared to how many years it took you to get where you are today... I have been alive about 2314 weeks, so 1 or 2 or 12 weeks is not a hill of beans in comparison. I can do that standing on my head... a small price to pay 0.005% of my life = 12 weeks... not a very long time if you ask me or... if you want to look at just 10 days... 16198 days(approx.) = what... (I hope my math is right .000016198%) I am sure it will be worth it in the end. :)
