Today is the 1st day of my pre-op diet.:smile2: I am so hungry right now and the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in my house isn't helping... My surgery is on March 8.

Yeah i know how that feels to knew you cant have them.. (isnt meaning surgery just dieting alone) When i started dieting to lose weight i felt like i was unsuported because my family would bring in cakes, soda and candy and it just became to hard on me... everytime i would diet,.... it was constantly there... But just pull threw ^-^ and hope everything goes well

I am going through the same thing right now. I started my liquid diet yesterday and my family did the same thing to me it was so hard but today was a little easier hoefully it will get better for you too. My surgery is on tuesday and It helps me to think about the surgery and the end result :smile2:

You have to focus on the end result. Put what you are not eating out of your mind of train yourself to think of it as garbage.

I have been on shakes for 18 days and I am not starving and have dropped 15 pounds in that time.

Good luck.

Congrats on your decision! You will find that after about the 4th day, you will stop craving food and your will-power will get a boost each day closer to your surgery. Try for 60 g of protein a day and treat yourself to a suger-free fudgsicle in the evening or when people are eating the choc chip cookies...I lost 13 pounds during the 2 week pre-op.
