Good Luck wih your Surgery!! ???? Good Luck!!

How are you doing it? I'm having such a hard time sticking to my pre-op liquid diet and I'm extremely worried I won't loose but gain weight because my brain is freaking out and making me hungrier and I'm eat what I'm not supposed to. In the morning I'm ok and having my Protein shake but then I start getting hungry for real food and I begin to eat. Any suggestions??Hang in there! Just keep telling yourself that it is only 2 weeks and you can do this for just two weeks or break it down into a day at a time. I just have to make it through today... then repeat gain tomorrow. Are you getting enough protein? I am using the Premier Protein shakes and that seems to help a lot. The first couple of days are the hardest usually as your body gets used to it. Your head is another matter - no tv because of all the food commercials, no thinking (or obsessing as I believe a more appropriate term for a lot of us) about food and if your thoughts go there, do something active with your mind to keep it busy (crosswords, solitaire, reading an exciting book, reading blogs to see that you are not alone and you CAN DO THIS!). I keep telling myself that I don't want to contribute in any way shape or form to my doctor having to do an open surgery vs, laproscopic because my liver is too big if I don't follow the liquid diet as this will cause a much more painful surgery and longer recovery time. So I am looking at that as a bigger concern than wanting to eat something I shouldn't for those two weeks. Thanks!! I'm drinking the Biatric Protein and Whey Protiene Isolate, beef or chicken broth, sugsr free Jello, Water and propel water, Gatorade. So far today I've been doing good. Maybe I should go to bed early before I begin to get hungry. Maybe I'll have some chicken broth in a couple of hours and make it my last meal. I appreciate your input. sorry for the typos. I'm texting in a hurry.

Wow!!! What a beautiful transformation!! I hope and pray I will have he same results, as I am still waiting for my follow-up appointment..

That is incredible LilMissDiva!! This is such a motivator.. Did you have to do a Tummy Tuck and all?? I'm quite scared to have to end up needing that. Even the thought of it scares me.
