I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. It's not liquid but I have to keep calories 800-1000/day, with most coming from protein. Getting in the protein. Still so crazy hungry. I can't concentrate bc I'm so hungry. I've never been this food focused in my life. Any advice for not feeling so hungry??? ~ AuntieMAME

I'm on the 22nd, too! Did they approve you? ~ AuntieMAME

Me too! I'm in Chicago. I just have to eat high protein, 800 calorue diet for 2 weeks. I am going to be SO CRANKY! ~ AuntieMAME

I'm on the 22nd. I start pre-op diet on Monday. ~ AuntieMAME

I [emoji173] Ethiopian food. What did you eat? I love kay wat and doro tibs. Did you puree the meats or were you sticking to something like yemisir wat? How were the spices on your stomach? You made me so happy to know I can try it! ~ AuntieMAME

Is it stuff that you can give out to homeless people? Also, my neighborhood has a Facebook group and people post opened food items all the time, bc their kids didn't like it or whatever. People still take it. Maybe yours does too? ~ AuntieMAME

No cafeine? Oh crap. I havent had surgery yet - hoping for Feb. (Ins requires 6 freaking months!!!) No one said I would have to give up caffeine. With my job, I have to get up early for international calls. I work with people in Bangalore and London. I'm in the US. I have to get up crazy early for calls and and be really functional in them. Right now, drink 2-3 mugs before lunch. Am I going to have to change jobs? I'm so screwed.... ~ AuntieMAME
