Day one of pre-op diet...

[K*L*L 26]

...and I am freaking starving! Someone tell me this will get easier over the next few days.

I'm doing Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch, lean meat and veggies for dinner, and two Snacks of low-fat yogurt, string cheese, or carrot sticks in between meals. And of course, lots of Water.

I know this is only temporary, but I was so hungry today I craved things I normally wouldn't. I hope these next two weeks fly by!

Mine did not get better until day 12. It sucked, and it sucked bad. Then, for whatever reason, on day 12 I wasn't as hungry.

The first 3-4 days were terrible for me, but after that my body got used to it. It was a drag, and I was tired a lot, but I didn't want to gnaw off my own hand anymore. Hang in there!

The preop diet sucks, but it will go by quick and it's very worth it. My Dr was planning to do a liver biopsy at same time as my sleeve because my preop tests showed fatty liver (its his standard practice), but he said when he got in there my liver looked great so he didn't need to! Try doing stuff to distract yourself. I cleaned to get ready for surgery. You can do this!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. I do hope it gets easier, but at least I know it's just temporary. Tonight's dinner of "real" food was the best dinner ever! LOL I cannot wait to be over this hump and move on to a new chapter!

I have to start my liquid diet now, even before I have a surgery date because I gained 3 pounds since April. I think mostly from quitting smoking. I have everything done, just an ultrasound because they found gallstones when they did my upper GI. I am really dreading it, but hopefully I can get through it.
