Howdy Sleevers! This is my 1st post as a lady with a surgery date on liquids... I'm on Day 5, and I am having a HARD time! I'm pretty sure I could be described as "hangry" (something another poster created as hungry+angry). Yesterday, we had skills competencies at work, and I'm lucky I got out with my dignity intact! I was SO hungry, shaky, dizzy, and FRUSTRATED that I wanted to punch innocent people in the throat. Like Godzilla terrorizing the city, I was lumbering through the delicate art of nursing, growling and sniping, while trying not to land in jail for accosting innocent bystanders who were drinking my beloved Dr Pepper. It has NOT gotten easier day by day for me. I know this is supposed to be a "lifestyle change" for us continuing after surgery, and I know it a mindset we are supposed to be learning. Therefore, am I a failure? Is this not something I can do?? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING GODZILLA-LIKE HANGRY ISSUES???

Day 5 of pre op liquid diet... At my work this week people have brought in the following items for our share table... Donuts, potato crisps, cookies and cake ... I want to stab them!!! I am so Hangry that I can't even bring myself to make my next shake!! Thankfully I am allowed green veges and a bit of lean meat however in my current state of mind that ain't gunna cut it!!!

Im on day 3 of my 5 day preop diet. I cant sleep I have a headache from no caffeine...and getting through the 4th of July was not easy but I made it.

I am on day 5 of 14 day pre op diet. 3 slim fast and 2 c veggies a day. I am going nuts!! I actually took a chicken nugget from my 8 year old niece Wednesday night. Oh my its going to be a long 9 days

I'm 1 week post-op so still on liquids for another two weeks. I'm so thankful my pre-op diet let me have 1 "meal" a day. The shakes are all so sweet just the thought of them makes me nauseous. Someone on another thread introduced me to Swansons flavor infused broths. I really like the Mexican Tortilla soup. There is also a Thai ginger & hot and sour. The provide enough flavor to cancel the sweet.

Thanks for the tip, do you add non-flavored Protein to meet daily requirements?

Im on day 1 of Pre op diet. Any ideas for liquids???

Oh no.... I'm scared now I start the 2 week preop liquid diet tomorrow heaven help me

I laughed so hard when hearing all of you. I can relate. I have been doing the Atkins shakes. They are premixed ready to go, 15 grams of protein in each so I need at least 4 for the day. I also drink v8 and chicken broth as well. I don't seem to be doing too bad on the pre-op liquid diet, it's really a mental thing. Keep telling your mind that you really not hungry ( when you really are). when I need to get my jaws going I get is sugar free popsicles. I am concerned about getting my daily protein after the surgery on the 27th. I saw someone mention non flavored protein to add to drinks where do I get that?
