I am approved for DECEMBER 21st!! ONLY 12 DAYS TO GO!!

i am on my 3rd day of liquid diet and boy am i hungryy!!!

im trying to stay positive!! I just want to eat some solids... is this normal?

Congrats on getting your date!

I have been on liquids for 11 days and the first few days were the worst-but it does get easier! I have started chewing sugar free popsicles or sugar free gum (my surgeon allows gum preop but not post op). Good luck and stay positive. It will get easier

COngratulations on getting your date!! i am not too far behind you. my date is set for 12/28!! and start my pre-op diet on Monday...

The first 3 days of liquids are terrible, but it gets better. That terrible hunger you have? that's your body doing what you want it to, burning fat. the protein and snacks you're getting now are keeping your body from shutting down and entering starvation mode, where it only burns what it absolutely has to, to survive. Trust me, it is way worth it. Keep your eye on the prize and good luck with your journey.

congrats! my surgery date is dec 20th! im on my liquid diet & these shakes are HORRIBLE!!!!! my surgeon approved of 1 shake a day, water all day & a meal at night.

Like stated above, the first days are the hardest. If you are doing exercise right now drink your protein shake immediately after, that way you won't lose muscle.

I totally cheated on the pre-op diet today.. :n ( Its day number six, and i ate pizza. I felt like I was starving to death, dizzy and nauseous . It was all I ate all day...I didnt do the shakes or anything else, figured it was more then enough calories in the pizza. i guess Ill pick up where I left off tomorrow..tsk tsk. Has anyone else cheated, and willing to talk about it?
