I'm scheduled for surgery on 3/13 but I'm having a difficult time with the pre op liquid diet. I'm so hungry. Physically I feel hunger pains and it's getting harder to ignore. How long were some of your pre op diets? My BMI is a 47 and I was told 7-day liquids.

Don't be embarrassed here, I cheated too! I'm doing better and you can too! Try to see the light at the end if the tunnel. Good luck!

Thanks guys. I'm glad I'm not alone... I'm afraid that it shows that I'm not 'commited' or something to that effect. That's not it... I'm just so hungry!! I don't have any problem during the work day. I eat what I brought, and I stay busy so it's fine. But I get home at the end of the day, I start paying attention to how hungry I feel. And I don't have anything to distract me. And then all of a sudden that's all I can think about/feel/focus on. And that's how I've ended up cheating. I really appreciate the prayers. I could sure use them!

Day four of pre-op liquid diet.....I cheated....had a piece of veggie cold pizza...the kind that is made with croissant n cream cheese. I've got such a headache and can't drink thiese shakes with this smell. I've ordered some nectar ones and some protien drink shots.....I feel as if I'm on the edge of the slippery slope and getting ready to fall.

Try GNC Lean shakes. Chocolate and strawberry are good.
