Just keep saying "I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!!" I am on day 12 of pre op diet (clear liquids with 3 protein shakes per day). I would say the 1st 1-5 days was the toughest but I feel as if this is a breeze now, especially the closer I get to surgery day. So far I have lost 13 lbs. My surgery is on Monday (9/10). Good luck to you and just remember you can do it. One thing that helped me was when I was having a really bad moment I would keep saying the scripture Romans 8:18 - Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. And remember "This too shall pass"!
