Today is day 1 of all liquids, I've done a really good job at drinking protien and keeping hydrated... I just feel a bit "off", I don't think my body likes this all liquids thing.  Thankfully I only have to do it until 3:30 on Monday.  Actually, midnight on Sunday because I can't have ANYTHING on Monday because it's surgery day.   Is it normal to feel a little off and am I missing somethign that I could do to feel better?

Girl, I'm on day 6 of liquid diet and I STILL feel off lol.  Actually, I started eating one meal a day because I couldn't stand it.  I have a horrible headache and am starving all the time.  They said when ketosis set in you wouldn't be hungry....BS.  All I can say, at least it's only until tomorrow.  You can do it for one more day!  Good luck on Monday.

Thank you... yes I can do it for 1 more day... I was just wondering if its normal and if there was anything I could do to feel better.    I am VERY grateful I didn't have to do the 2 weeks.. I don't think I would have been able to stick to it 100%.

I keep saying this is the easy part, after surgery I have to do all of this and deal with recovery and feeling like crap from having my insides ripped apart .. haha...

I'm on day 10, and feel like I've been run over by a truck.  My hunger is there, but so far, it hasn't been more of an issue than I can handle.  However, I feel like a used dishrag, and my brain cells don't seem to be making any connections, LOL!  I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I can do to get over this, or something I can eat that would be completely nutritious and would meet whatever it is my boby needs.

By the way, I'm on two protein shakes a day : : : shudder : : : and one very light meal.

 It's tough, but you can make it through. Just make sure you're getting all your protein shakes and liquids in. Also, if you can, add in SF jello, SF popsicles, broth to help fill the void.

 Stay focused, avoid watching TV (Too many food comercials) and stay busy. You can do it! The first couple of days are the worst. By the time you are 6 days into liquid only you should be coping with it just fine.

I'm on day 6 also - and feel very funky - one minute I have lots of energy it seems like and the next I'm starving - but then today, I shopped most of the day and didn't have anything bu****er between 10am & 4pm - I wasn't even that hungry then.

I'm just trying not to dwell on what I can't have and accept this the way it's going to be for the next several months - I'll be eating strictly by the rules from my surgeon.

I do have the headache, I haven't had ANY caffeine all week and I'm the person that is holding the line up at Sonic getting my route 44 Diet Dr. Pepper everymorning!

Just thought I would pipe in on this. I too felt that way. Actually a year or so ago when I tried the HCG diet and lost 35lbs and gained 60 back, lol.... I felt this way. Than again on my 2 week pre op diet. I felt as if I was a little distorted. Not quite right. At work I felt like I was always looking like 'DUHHHH".   I was told it is because carbs fuel our brains. Without the sugar and carbs feeding it you will have this feeling. Yes Ketosis will take the fat to run the body, but I just never believe it made it all the way to the top!  

You all can do this. I made it and was grateful. After surgery it is no big deal as you are not hungry. I am having to force myself to eat and drink. Good luck, you will all be on the losers bench soon!!!
