I am so hungry I could cry!! This pre op diet is killing me and im only on day 2.

It should get better by this afternoon. I did a pre-op of three days of only clear liquids. The first 24 hours were the worst, after that I didn't feel so much hungry as exhausted!

Hang in there! It is rough, let me tell you, but SOOOO worth it in the long run. Look at the big prize, a smaller YOU!

There is a man in our area who lost 80 pounds so that he was healthy enough to donate a kidney to his daughter (he was her only match). I swore I could never sacrifice my food, not even for my children's health. Boy, was I WRONG!! I didn't have to save my child, thankfully, I just needed to be here for them so I needed to get healthy. The pre-op diet was just step one. Just try and remember doctor's orders. I just got in my mind that I couldn't deviate from his orders and I followed it. I'm not going to lie, I cried while I was pureeing my Soup and my family was having "real food". No one said it would be easy & people who think WLS is the easy way out are so full of it! Walk a mile (or the many miles we will/do walk) in our shoes and then tell me I took the easy way out!!

YOU CAN DO IT!! I was allowed jell-o and popsicles and that helped, at least I was chewing. Are you allowed those foods? That may help.

I totally feel you! At 10 calories a serving how about trying some sugar-free jello during your pre-op diet? This helped me, and then I followed that by drinking a lot of water to get me to feel full. The pre-op part wasn't easy for me either and I cried a lot thinking it was not worth it. Hang in there!

I am doing the 2 shakes a day with a small meal at night. I'm going to get some jello and sugar free Popsicles! I seriously cannot believe how hungry I am.

Want to cry hate making dinner for the fam I'm a very good cook but soup I can deal with it 6 days to go we can do this lady's

It REALLY does get easier! I am in my third week of my 2 week full liquid pre op. I won't lie and say I wasn't hungry at times and I have had some crazy cravings for carbs, but overall I have done ok AND I am down 20# with 5 more days to go! You can do it!

I'm on day 8 of 14 days. It got easier after the first 3 days, but I still have bad days where I am very hungry. I just keep looking forward and I know it will be worth it!

I am on day 3 and experiencing hunger tonight. I think I just need to go to bed by 8:30. U r not alone.

When I was hungry on the pre op diet I made sure I downed at least 8 oz of water, waited 5 minutes and 9 out of 10 times the hunger passed telling me I was not hungry but in need of hydration. The one time it did not pass I would either have a SF jello or Popsicle and it did the trick!! Good luck and hang in, it will be worth it!!

It was awful for me too! I had a fight with my husband over him not letting me have a wendy's baked potato a mile from the surgeons hospital. I thought I was going to die. But I did it, surgery was on Monday and the surgeon said my liver looked great! So it was worth it. Hang in there because now that I am on the other side, I am not hungry at all!

You can beat this!
