Day 3 on my 2 week Pre Op Diet....

Today was the hardest for me, I did everything to the T- I drank my shakes for Breakfast and for lunch and had my snack bars inbetween, and drank a good amount of Water and I was just plain HUNGRY - nothing I did could curb my hunger today, and the longer the day went on the hungrier I got and the crabbier I got... I didnt cheat, I was good, but Man... this is hard! :(

Anyone else go through this, does it get better?

Thanks

Michelle

Good luck on your 3 month supervised diet - Soon we will look back on all of this and think how thankful we are we went through everything -

I am now counting down the days, I have 9 days until my surgery... thats not long at all. I have to admit, I will be glad when that is all behind me and I am on the loosers bench :)

Awwwww, im with ya girl!!! It is sooooooo hard, I know. I just posted a newbie saying how bad I am feastinggggg every day! I am sooooo nervous, and everything in my mind is sleeve, sleeve, sleeve, so im eating totally out of control. I dont think I've eaten this bad in yearsssss, but I know the time is near, and it will come to having to choice but to do it even though there is no pre-op diet for me, according to my surgeon. But, thanks for the info bout the pre-op stuff. Im gonna keep trying. Im off to a good start again today. Good luck to ya, and plz keep in touch, and thank u again :):):)

I have a slimfast 180 calorie shake for breakfast, a slimfast 100 calorie snack back a couple hours later, then I have another shake for lunch, then another snack a couple of hours later then for dinner I can have 5 ounces of Protein and 2 cups of veggies. Thats it! - Each day is different on being able to handle it, first three days were rough, the 4th was better, then today came and I had to work late, and missed my normal 1 meal time, and it really kicked my butt, I was shakey, angry, emotional - not a very happy camper.

I will definatly keep in touch, we can do this... its just another step to a new us! - I did find an new "snack" thanks to this forum to use instead of the sweet Snacks from slimfast all the time. Take 2 % string cheese and wrap thin sliced turkey breast around it, but before I wrap the turkey I spinkle some Mrs Dash Tomato basic and garlic.... it is SOOOO Yum and only 90 Calories, less the the snack bar.

My biggest problem right now, is leg cramps, I am having them all the time, and I was told I needed to get in more Water. I am trying to do that and will see if that helps. I woke up with one in each leg this morning, it jolted me right out of bed crying! I am drinking as much water as I can, cause those things hurt!!!

Have a fabulous day - Keep a smile on your face, this is all worth it in the end.

I'm on the 2nd day of my 2 week liquid diet. So far so good. I did make some homemade chicken Soup 2 weeks ago, strained the broth off and froze it. I drank a cup yesterday and a cup today and it tasted like HEAVEN!!! Good luck to all of us who are going thru this!:D

wow, my hat is off to you, two week liquid diet - I dont know if I would make it! I guess I would if I had too - Glad its going well for you - I think the key to all of this is to have a support group who knows what your going through, makes things easier knowing that others have had to do the same thing, and they made it :)

Good Luck to all the Pre-op Dieters! :)
