3rd day of preop diet and I want to eat my own arm off.....

I was there too! I found that more sipping on fluids helped. In fact. The more time I spend sipping on fluids all day the less I get hungry even now! In my first while post op I did 6 mini-meals a day (even though my doc prefers 3 a day always) I just knew that I would be too hungry!

Also Protein powder in shakes or pudding helped fill me up too.

good luck. It's a process...you will find what works or doesn't work for you!

I am totally agreeing with you. Day 2 tomorrow. Someone said it gets better

I started my pre op prior to the required time so I could have more time to adjust it made it easier for me. Hang in there, there is a bigger picture here, keep your eye on the prize! Good luck

The first weeks the hardest! You can do this!!! I thought I was going to fail but I just constantly envisioned myself at my goal weight. I drank a lot of water, coffee and crystal light. Can you eat food or are you all liquid?

I have sympathy.... it was the 5th day before I started feeling human on the pre op liquid. Its a huge shock to the system. You can do this!

I am ALL liquids. I find it harder at night. I work night shift but even when I am at home, I have the emptiest feeling in the world. Its almost like mourning. That is the feeling I am afraid of......I am gonna keep trying my best.

6 days in pre and I'm dehydrated protein made me sick as a dog any suggestions?
