Bad Liquid Diet Pre Op Day

Mar 01, 2013

Okay, I need some encouragement. I am on day 4 of a two week liquid diet and I am sooo hungry! I have read a bunch of people say that it gets easier after day three but really I am not feeling like it. I feel like if I could go 14 days without eating then I wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. I know the purpose of this is to shrink the liver so that it is easier for the surgeon to get to the stomach, but why do some require so long and some require little or nothing.?   It is so hard to pack lunches and make breakfast and dinner and know that I can’t even sample it, that the only think I have waiting for me is some sugar free pudding, jell-o, popsicles, oatmeal (gross) or broth.  I know that I will get through this but today has been a bad day. Nothing is satisfying the noises in my tummy! Thank you for listening.

Provided that I can make it through this diet, 11 days left!
