I'm 5 days and counting from my surgery and I have to start my full liquid diet tomorrow... I'm allowed cucumbers, celery, sugar free jello, and dill pickles as solids to eat... But I know they aren't enough to keep the hunger pains away... Anyone have any tips or tricks for keeping them a bay?

Good luck! No tips because I'm not there yet but I think just keeping yourself busy might work. Or help anyway.

If you're allowed celery, cucumbers and pickles, eat a lot of them.  I had only full liquids for a week and the first 3 days were torture.  I had carb withdrawl headaches.  by day 4, I felt fantastic.

just be strong, follow the plan and get through it.  It will be worth it.

Sheer determination, will power, and lots of cucumbers, celery, and pickles! 

Honestly, at first it's damn hard. Can you do beef brorh? I found comfort in the warmth (and protein) from the broth. 

If not, grit your teeth, and just do it! And keep in mind that every single pound you lose will never come back! It gives you Good start to the weight loss. 

And really, no cheating. Your liver is depending on you to make it shrink. It makes surgery easier. 

Hang in there! You can do this!

Sugar free popsicles... lots and lots of sugar free popsicles (they're a liquid, not a solid in the eyes of nutritionists)
