Dr Illan, who is yours?

Excellent point! It is so important to ensure proper nutrition. It can cause all kinds of problems. I will never forget reading a woman's post that all of her teeth fell out. That will ensure that I personally will be stringent on all supplements. I have the Tespo and LOVE IT!

Im on Day 2 of the pre op liquid diet (and day 2 of no cigarettes). It is VERY difficult, Im really hungry. I hope this hungry feeling subsides soon. Mine is a 10 day diet

I feel your pain! Day 2 of Pre Op diet and Day 2 Quit smoking! Im sooo hungry its ridiculous! Hang in there, you've got this!

Beautiful!

I am trying [emoji4] When I feel as though I could slip... I get on here and read posts. It works every time. I am so grateful to everyone here on this forum. The support is immeasurably helpful. [emoji106]

Surgery Date 10/28/2017 So I woke up in the middle of the night and had a massive craving for a cigarette. I didn't smoke though. Thankfully, I had thrown them all away! Yesterday (Day 1 PreOp Diet AND Day 1 quit smoking) was ROUGH! The hunger pains were the worst! So bad that I hardly noticed how much I wanted to smoke. I think this liquid diet is going to be super helpful to quit smoking. I drank more fluid every time the hunger pains were bad. I do think it's weird that I haven't gone into ketosis yet. I have the Keytone Test Strips and it was negative as of a few minutes ago. I had 2 Premiere Protein Shakes, At least 90 oz. of sugar free drinks, 8 oz. beef broth, 1 sugar free jello, 1 Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt, 2 sugar free chocolate puddings. At around 8:00pm I was so hungry and I was shaking like a leaf! I ate one bite of shredded chicken breast (1-2 tsp?). That took away the shakes after about 20 minutes and I was able to fall asleep around 10:00pm. I woke up this morning and did my Tespo vitamin shot and drank a Premiere Protein shake. Here's hoping today is easier than yesterday!!!! Im about 1/4 way through a 32 oz. Powerade Zero.

So sorry about your divorce, but happy that you will soon be open to a healthy, loving relationship with a man who deserves you!

Nobody told me I should invest in toilet paper companies stock Pre Op! I bet I have been to the restroom AT LEAST 12 times and it's only 6:00pm!

Im cold turkey as well. The saving grace is that after I eat triggers my cigarette cravings. Not eating (PreOp diet) is making it easier. [emoji4]

Walk, Rest and Sip. You are now on the "New You" path. Congrats!!

Im Day 1 of Pre op diet today AND Day 1 of No Smoking. ROUGH

Are there any Dallas sleevers in here?

Mine was not getting a job that I was qualified for because I was overweight.
