day 5 liquid diet not good

Hi All---this liquid diet the first few days was good I did have a salad yesterday after my blood work but today was really bad. Getting really cranky and snappy took my sugar and it was 89. Hubby keeps telling I have to drink the shakes and I know I have to but I might go off the deep end before the 1st lol. I know all the stuff will be for the best, already down 6lbs since Sunday, but really want a hamburger LOL. Thanks for letting me vent 

I really feel for you!

 

Thanks Valerie--this too shall pass and be just a memory soon. But I do really want that hamburger lol--maybe when I can eat the pureed food I will get it and make a hamburger paste :)

EEEwww, I skipped puree and went right to soft food, eating tender meats the day I came home.  Work on that possibility.  A hamburger may be difficult at first, but post roast will be easier, believe it or not.

 

lol they said when I leave the hospital I should be on full liquids by then. You just made my night about the roast beef yummy yummy yummy. 

It does suck but what got me through was...this is the LAST time Iever have to do this so what's 14 days right? Being cranky is normal...any human or animal would go through it if you took everything away from them that they enjoyed. Believe me...you won't want anything for a while after surgery...which is a blessing bc you need to heal your insides. Remember why you are doing this. Its hard but you have all of us here that went through those aweful pre op "i just wanna have a burger". Your hubby is right...drink your protein. Get used to it. That is all you will be able to get down for the first few weeks...they become your best friend. You can do this. I swear....its worth it Michelle.....your day is almost here

I'm on day 12 of the 14 day liquid diet. My surgery is Monday morning. It's been miserable. I was pretty crazy by the middle of it, but I'm in the acceptance phase of the whole thing now. If I can do it, you can. Only a few more days, and then from what everybody says, you won't feel hungry for quite a while. 

After day 5 it got better only 7 more days of shakes I can do this. Thank you all for the advice. xo

Two good things will come of this awful period - one, you'll drop some good weight right away.  Second, you're getting rid of your carb cravings the longer you go without eating carbs.  We've all been there, and it sucks!!  Try to keep busy so you have less time to think about it.

Good luck!!

Thank you. I have lost 10lbs so far and still have another week to go. I am surprised I haven't had to bad of cravings for carbs. I have had a few cheats nothing major or really bad. I took my daughter for ice cream and found the taste made me sick, I could take all the chemicals in it. So I have one more week to go and then my big day, 2 days after my birthday so I think this is a pretty cool birthday give to me and my family.
