Starving

Hello. I started the pre-op diet yesterday--2 protien shakes, a small meal, and LOTS of water. I hate to say it but I am STARVING. I was told if I was hungry I could eat sugar free popscicles or sugar free jello...that did nothing as it is just fancy, flavored water. My surgery is scheduled for April 26, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to help with the hunger. Today I am going to alter the time I drink the shakes to see if that makes a difference.
