I totally understand how you are feeling. I am on day 5 now and today for the first time I feel like I am am a real human. The past 4 days I wanted to naw my own arm off, it was crazy but just think we are almost done, and in a few short days we will start our new lives, and after the surgery we shouldnt feel as hungry as we do right now. (Just put the cat down and walk away.... walk away.... there ya go)

I hope not, but I hear it is rather chewy, and the fur gets caught in your teeth!

LOL

Tastes like chicken!!

In all seriousness: it is tough, you are right. But you can do tough things...YOU CAN!!

It will get easier as the days go by. One day at a time, my friend...one day at a time!

Once you have the surgery it isn't anywhere near as bad as it is right now for you. Just be mindful of head hunger vs. real hunger. I struggled with head hunger for like... 3 or 4 days post op and was then able to realize I really *wasn't* hungry and that I was filling up just fine on what I was allowed to have. Keep the faith!!! You can do it!

Good luck to both of you.

I felt the same way, but I was going to eat my dog.....I did get through it and you will too. It is tough but needs to be done...good luck in your journey..

Just keep thinking of the big prize at the end. You can do it!!!! (can I ask why you have to do a liquid diet for so long?)

@abby, the clear liquid is only 10 days, but then post op regular foods don't come in until week 8.
