I just finished two weeks of liquid diet and today was clear fluids only. I was going crazy at the beginning too, I just craved something savory or salty. But actually it got a lot easier as the light in the tunnel grew nearer. Last night I went out to a DS gathering and I didn't have a hard time at all resisting anything. You are almost there so just hang in there!

It's great to know that the liquid diet gets easier.  Today is my first day and it's went much better than I was anticipating but then again it's only day one.  Thanks for the encouragment for everyone that's currently on the 2 week liquid diet or who will be soon :)

My surgon required two weeks before and 4 weeks after clear liquids and protein only. That was so rough, but really helped me figure out the diff between head hunger and stomach hunger. Also breaks the carb addiction. Popcicles gave me the little bit of crunchy I needed. Whatever you dr advises, stick by it. It is gospel, just because people here want to subvert what your dr says, doesnt mean its a good idea. If you cant change your outlook now, surgery wont change it. My dr allowed me to take progresso chicken noodle soup and strain out the solid bits. I put the bits in an ice cube tray and freeze them since they are about the size on one meal post op. BUT ASK YOUR DR FIRST!!

Good luck, it has been totally worth it! Im 4yrs post op and would do it all over again if I had to!
