pre-op diet hell

Ok, im on day 5 of my liquid diet, people said it would get easier, it hasnt. My dr. has me on

3 protien shakes

3 sugar free jello

1 cup chicken broth

2 cup light yogurt

Does this sound normal? Im hungry and struggling, i have not cheated yet but this is so hard...any advise? Thanks, Trish

I did 3 protein shakes a day and nothing else..besides water and fuze drinks for two weeks pre-op and then two weeks post op!! You can do it..just keep thinking of the rewards in the end! Drink a lot of water/crystal light and keep yourself busy. Clean closets/drawers, take a walk or anything you can to keep your mind busy. That is what I did. I was banded on 11/23/9 and have lost 64 lbs so far!! It isn't easy but it is so worth it!! Something else to think about is...is it mind hunger or are you really hungry..this will be a struggle as well. Sometimes it is just your mind playing a game with you. If you can do something (anything..take a walk, sort the mail, organize sock drawer or junk drawer) else to distract this "hunger" and it goes away then you really were not hungry it was just mind hunger. If there is nothing you can do that will distract it and your stomach is growling and growling you probably are hungry.
