This liquid diet is...
I'm right there with you! I started my liquid diet on Monday for surgery 3/18 and I'm still feeling a bit crazy today.
I've been drinking caffeine free tea a couple times a day and that's been helpful.

I've come to the conclusion that I may not need wls as I'm putting in a good 20k steps just running to the bathroom. I've never peed so much in my life. I'm only on my second full day of liquids, we were a little late in getting started 3/18 is surgery date. Everything has been complicated by being put on heavy doses of antibiotics as well.. woke this morning not at all hungry but with a headache and now I'm gearing myself up to another day of this new form of exercise.
I sure hope it gets easier... I had to run to costco yesterday and luckily I purchased protein shakes.. ended up buying a cup of ice and pouring up lunch in the car.. before that I had dashed into Panda Express for a glass of tea, talk about tormenting myself as the Panda is one of my favorite places to eat.
I am on day 6 of the diet the peeing has slowed down significantly, but I still go more than normal. However, the head hunger is gone. With my diet the 98% fat free condensed chicken soup has been my saving grace. Also, the popsicles, I will feel like I am starving but after having one I am pretty satisfied. The protein is what gets to me, I know it will have to be my bff for awhile so I am trying to make amends with it!
