I'm one week into the pre-op diet and it's been a real challenge for me. I've done a lot of diets in the past that resembled this but it doesn't make it any easier. I didn't realize how much snacking I did till now, such as those little 6 pack crackers, small sleeves of Cookies, etc. I can do anything for a week (I hope). November 18th is just around the corner. A lot of people have said it gets easier after the 3rd day, but not for me. I'm hoping for a quick week.
