OK day I'm on day 5 of protein only before my surgery on Monday. I stopped by my brothers of course there was a beautiful pizza on the counter...
it was like a heaven of melting cheese.
Anyway I so wanted a piece....so I chewed it up and spit it out....LOL was the wrong ? Weird?
OMG can I do this??

Maybe your next career can be as a sensory person at a food company. That's what they do.
Actually, that was a pretty darned good idea. Took care of the head hunger at least.
3 more days! Or is it 2?

The liquid diet is hard. I had to do it for 14 days before surgery. I was able to have broth, sf popcicles, sf jello, and the protein shake 3 times at least dailly. I only complained that the shakes were too sweet for me. I wasn't a sweet person so the sweetness drove me crazy. Since I could have broth I cleared it with my doc to have the broth of canned soup watered a little more to cut the salt, or low sodium soups if I wanted just the broth. I even took the low salt pre made stock and simmered it with a onion in it to add flavor or take the beef stock add the onion and a little tomatoe juice to make it taste like a good stew. I know your doc says no to broth but when you can have it after surgery here is some ideas. Just remember to strain the broths if you add some veggies for flavor. But as far as chew and spit I did that a couple times I know its a nono but I needed to chew and it helped take that feeling away. I would wake up at night and feel like I forgot something when on the liquid diet. Since I wasn't chewing I guess I missed it. You will make it just remember we have all had to go through this liquid diet some to more extreme then others but in the end its really for the best! You will like the results by the time you get your first fill! REally !!!!!!!!!!!! Keep busy and sleep more , or start a new hobby it will take your mind off the diet you are on.
