Pre-Op Diet Started... This Sucks! Any Advice?

I just started my pre-op diet today and I'm already wondering if I can last... I've got two weeks of this crap and I'm hungry already. Any advice or recipes that could help would be greatly appreciated (:

      Just remember, there's a light at the end of the tunnel - its not permanent....its a means to an end. You cannot have your sleeve if you don't drink your protein!

    The pre-op diet sucks. The liquids after suck. The full liquids suck. The mushies suck. The weight loss? Priceless. I'd do it all again to feel as good as I do now.

    NCstatebabe, I have surgery on Monday so I will let you know the cheese I have been eating messes anything up. I am praying it doesn't. I just had to had some substance to chew on. I am already sick of the protein drinks. I have just been gulping them down like a bad medicine. I know I can't do that afterwards, but for now that is what I am doing.

    Day 7 Pre-Op liquid Diet Check-in...down 11.4 lbs...Hit the wall on yesterday :banghead: , but my husband kept me on track :wub: . I can say this...If I don't have another shake for the rest of my life, it would still be too soon. LOL But loving the popsicles though! :biggrin:

    So far so good, still taking it one day at a time, I will admit I am having a strange craving for a cracker, that's right folks ONE cracker! Ha Ha Ha ....But besides that everything else is cool.

    Saturday I went to smoothie King and got a Protein shake..it was cool, just a chance to break up the flavors for me.

    So there is my update for all my Sleeve twins(2/6)...6 more days to the losers bench

    Operation Sexy 2012 in full effect!!
