I'm on day 6 birdie, it does get better. Yesterday was a hard day. I just keep trying to switch up tastes. Ordering broth from restaurant was good and I guess it helped w my head hunger. Today I have felt full and have struggled to get my water in. My headache went away on the 4th day
I'm on day 5 of preop liquid only. I get sick of the shakes but been doing ok. Day 1 and 2 were the hardest so far. Day 3 4 were good now today I find myself really hungry. I too have been making home made broth and getting a few restaurants strain broth for me. Those seem to be best. Surgery on the 14th and I can't wait!!
Today is my 2nd day pre-op and I was starting to feel the same way!!! It made me def want to eat but it does make me feel better knowing u feel the same:)
Submitted to insurance yesterday got approved today:) start my liquid diet on Thursday and I did a small food funeral couldn't even finish. It was a waste of time made me feel like crap. So not worth it but only looking forward to the 14 th now;)
I found that time of the day was hardest for me too!! I am fortunate enough that my daughter and husband helped me clean out the house so I no longer have the temptation. But what did help was eating more of my daily calories and huge protein in meal 1. It makes me feel so full that I think about snacking but couldn't even if I wanted to lately. You will be ok and just hop back on the bandwagon. We just went on a cruise and those temptations were too much. So I did have a little but basically tasted and spit lol. Good luck and if my daughter (16) wants some of those foods she keeps them in her room or in basement where I don't have to see them.
I understand completely I also have to loose 20lbs total I have about 5 to go by the 25 or they will reschedule me. I've waited 2 yrs and my family is currently 1000 miles apart so I can do this for myself. Getting very frustrated and stepping on the scale all day. I'm not usually an anxious person but it's really starting to get to me which makes me wanna eat more.... Wish me luck!!
The thing that made me give up soda is the fact I have to loose 20lbs before surgery and my dr is very strict with this. I've lost 7 so far but only a month to loose 13. I love soda it has been harder than the cigs I gave up. But after reading that it slows down the weight loss I just quit and it's been helping. I have headaches and am tired but just looking towards the light I guess.
