Pre-Op diet -- How are you doing?

I'm scheduled for January 8th and started my pre-op diet on Dec 26. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. My doc allows 3 shakes and 2 high protein bars and a 5 oz protein dinner with two cups of non-starch veggies. The protein really suppresses the appetite, but of course I have some head hunger. Head hunger is much easier for me to deal with when my physical hunger is under control (this is why I loved the HCG diet). I have also been sipping on chicken broth in between for something savory, which is only 20 calories in a can.

How is everyone else doing on the POD?

I start my pre op diet next week. I am allowed to have 5-7 protein shakes a day. I am not looking forward to it, but I am lucky in the fact that my doctor only has me on it for 7 days. I guess it could be a lot worse. I will send some prayers up for you Keya34.
