Mental pains
Well I am on day 13 out of 25 days liquid diet and I am DYEING with mental hungry pains. I have gone for a walk, drink enough broth to make me bolt, eat enough SF jello to swim in and I still fell like CRUDE!!!! I have 7 days of liquid diet left and them 5 days of a clear liquid diet to go. MAN OH MAN!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent.
Hang in there, you'll make it! You're half way there with this part of the diet. I had to do this for 30 days pre-op and another almost 30 days post op. It's hard but it can be done, just do everything you can to stay busy. I ended up playing more games of solitare than I ever dreamed I could play! It's great practice for after surgery and I know you will be proud of yourself for doing it! One day at a time, sometimes one second at a time if all else fails take a nap. We're all rooting for you!
Hang in there! I would also be trying to do lots of gaming or something else that sucks time and occupies your hands.
Maybe visualise wee-ing those fat cells down the loo with the bolting?
Start online/window shopping for new outfits that you would like to get during your journey post op
Or things you want to do or places you want to go
find a telly show you can binge watch that you love and can keep you distracted
oh... watch inspiring youtube videos on people who have lost lots of weight, or trained for marathons (those make me cry, but boy they are really inspiring!)
You got this bro! Think of it as boot camp for the loser's bench. Surgery Day is graduation day.

Hey....you've already done half. You've got this conquered. Just keep focusing on your GOAL...surgery and not only surgery but one that will give you your life back. I guarantee....you'll never regret doing this surgery and it is SO worth all the things you go through to get it. Congrats on your success so far.
