Hi Kat. Welcome to Thinner Times.
The liquid diet will be the hardest the first few days, but it will get better. Treat it as highly important, because that's what it is, a pre surgical preparation to shrink your liver and give you the best post-op outcome and healing possible.
You don't have your weight stats up, so I don't know where you stand or what your goal is, BUT you have your young age on your side and all the stamina that comes with being young. Truly you should succeed post-op, but FIRST, it's the pre-op preparation that counts. Don't dread the pre-op diet, just do it. Overcome it and become the support for another who will follow in your shoes. "It's no big deal," you'll say. "I thought it would be hard, but I just took it one-day-at-at time, and suddenly it was the day of my surgery."
Good luck,
