Today is day 3 of my presurgery liquid diet, I'm not really hungry but I really miss salt and crunchies like almonds.

    I think once you pass the third day hurdle, it gets easier. The cravings, at least, should get better.

    Good luck.

    Today was day 4, I'm not really really hungry but I could eat some toast or nuts. Thanks for the tip on the ice chips that helps a little to get some crunch in.

    I forgot that I could have tomato soup as long as I didn't have it every day so I had some yesterday and it was awesome so for my only hot food of the day I am going to alternate between Tomato soup and chicken broth. :) On Day 9 now and it's still hard but I'm not hungry. The biggest problem I have with this is that almost everything on the list that is allowed are sweet to the taste buds and I don't really like sweets that much.

    You are doing very well! Only a few more days to go. I wish I didn't like sweets so much. That's what got me in trouble in the first place.

    I had a hard time with the sweetness of what was allowed. I am not a big sweet fan. I only had to do the liquid diet 5 days presurgery but then after surgery for about 10 days. Tomatoe soup was a friend to me.. it broke up the sweet protien shakes and I hated the broth. Hang in there .... mind over matter.

    I am 6 weeks post surgery today. I don't seems to want any sweets (I think I broke that habit now) I stuggle with protein intake. It is a journey for all of us to learn what works and what does not. But the benefits far out weigh (sorry) the stuggle.

    4 days to go and I'm no longer missing the crunchy things I guess I'm just used to it. Lost 6 more pounds in the last week so I guess not only my liver is getting smaller with the liquid diet. Thank you all for your comments.

    On my last day, surgery tomorrow morning. Looking back it wasn't so bad although there were a couple of tough days. Tomato soup helped a lot the second week, I had forgot it was on list the 1st week. :)

    I am day 7 of post-op.. I was ok in the hospital with the liquids.. but now I am home, it is harder... I was eating very very clean healthy foods! (lost 58 lbs pre-op) I am not really "hungry" JUST bored.. and smelling the healthy foods is killing me.. :( Anyone else go through this?

    Thank you,
    Tina
