today is not very good. frustrated and ready to cry. had to go buy groceries for the family and more protein drinks for me. i did not know how hungry i was until i entered the store. now have serious migraine and really just want to sleep this day away. maybe tomorrow will be bettter. STILL DETERMINED NOT TO FAIIL.

I'm on Day 6 of the pre-op diet! You will be just fine. Don't give up!!

The first few days are definitely the worst. I too have been getting a nightly headache, but you must remember the PRIZE at the end of this! Just keep right on doing it - this is only for a short time!!

Honestly, the first three days of the pre-op diet were really hard for me. I turned a corner on Day 4 and 5 and it was (relatively) easy from there on out. It's such a huge adjustment - mentally and physically.

Take good care of yourself and know that it WILL get easier. I promise! I always say that the pre-op diet was the hardest part of my entire weight loss experience! It's so much easier after you are sleeved and you have that powerful tool to combat hunger. For now, you gotta tough it out without the sleeve.

Take it a day at a time (or maybe an hour or even minute at a time if you need to). You will get through this and you'll be sleeved before you know it. Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I hope you love your sleeve as much as I love mine!
