Oops meant pre opThank you!! I hope soThis is extreme day 5 and this by far is the hardest thing I have ever done!Can the doctor tell if you cheated?That is amazing!!!Day 4... I am still struggling....I have taken up sleeping as my new hobby lolIt is liquids only!!! Nothing else!I would be a mess if I woke up and the doctor didn't do the surgery. I am going to call tomorrow and ask about the Protein. I understand not having sugar and carbs but the nurse also told me you won't be hungry!! What a joke. This is hell and I consider myself very strong willed. I have lost 6lbs since I started the shakes Friday morning. I understand shrinking the liver is important but I still feel 14 days with nothing but shakes is unrealistic.....No I don't eye roll at all!! I really appreciate the time you take to respond and it does make me feel better reading encouragement. I will accept any kind words thanks!!!You are right. He has been great it is my mom guilt that kicks in and I feel like why should my son suffer but he has been 100% supportive of this like change...I hope so. I have a huge headache and I'm starving lol!Does it get harder or easier as day 3 approaches?Thanks Donna! It helps to hear others say positive things. How is life 9 months after the surgery? Harder or easier than you thought?I am! I want this more than anything! Thanks for the encouragement!Thanks! I keep reading on here that some people have or had no restrictions except 24 hours before surgery. I have a 14 year old son who weighs 99 lbs and he keeps asking me to make him food. Lol.... this is harder than I thought it would be.Day 2 pre op I am starving! Only shakes for 14 days. Is this normal?
