Part of what you're going through during the day is called head hunger. Your head says MMMM I am hungry, feed me. Your stomach is saying nooooooo way. You need to get your mind off food during the day or whatever it takes. Also if you can drink more protein to get closer to your goal of protein at each stage, will help with hunger. Hope this helps...good luck!

I understand what you are going through. My biggest advice is to drink, drink, drink. It really does curve the hunger.

I do not feel full on a liquid diet unless I'm on it because I'm sick. Jello is usually allowed on liquid diets and I make it thick because the feeling of chewing helps me feel satisfied. The regular recipe is one box sugar free jello mixed with 2 cups water. I cut the water in half and make one box jello to one cup water. You can also make your own flavors of jello by mixing juice wih unflavored knox gelatin. Hope this is helpful.

It really depends on whether your diet is clear fluids or just liquid. My dr. allowed me to drink Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Smoothies that are somewhat like Nouriche's. They have 8 grams of protein for each 7 oz. drink and are sugar-free made with Splenda but are only found at Super Wal-Mart stores. They help with the feelings of satisfaction. You may want to ask if you can have soups like tomatoe made with milk, etc. Nes Quik has a sugar-free chocolate milk mix that I was told was ok as well. But my all time favorite is still Starbuck's- A non or reduced fat latte (tall not venti) decaf with sugar-free hazlenut, vanilla or cinnamon dulce is satisfying and has about 11-12 grams of protein for 110 calories. I'm not too far ahead of you, so good luck.
