Im on day 5 of my preop and so hungry. But at least the headaches are gone!

I'm also scheduled for August 22 & am on day 5 of clear liquids & 4-5 protein shakes a day. Day 3 was the worst so far for me, including a headache, but today I am a bit hungrier than yesterday. I find that sugar-free Jello or broth is more "filling" for those super-hungry times. Also, some sugar-free drink mix, like Crystal Light, seems more filling than plain water. Some surgeons do allow full liquids but mine doesn't. If your surgeon does allow it try thicker soups or yogurt.

I'm one day ahead of you. Aug 21st.

Mine is August 22 with Dr Patel in Victory Medical Center in San Antonio Tx, my pre-op diet is 2 protein shake plus one low carb meal., 64oz water , sf jello plus my multivitamins, hope we keep in touch to support each other :-)

O yes to me second day on it my headache was killing me but the 3rd day I was ok , I guess my body wanted sweets and carbs but I'm doing fine now and so ready for August 22 too!!! Hope we do great just like almost everybody else in this site , love it.

My surgery is for the 21st...I'm doing ok on my diet....it's only been 3 days though. Today proved to be a very hungry day for me.....grrrr.... it's almost bedtime and i'll be glad to go to bed just to forget about it till morning. LOL Excited and nervous....(maybe I should admit to being scared to death...but i'll never back down) Going to Tijuana coupled with never having general anesthesia.... Freaking out and excited!!!! I'll just shorten that to read....FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!

I'm also scheduled for Aug 22. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and am so nervous and excited! Let's all stay in touch!!!!

I'm scheduled for 8/22. Started preop diet on 8/5 and down 22 lbs.

I am also Aug 22 just finishing up day 3 of optifast diet, had a major headache today. Not really feeling hungry. I have my eye on the prize...wearing a swimsuit next summer. I plan on keeping in touch throughout my surgery and recovery.

Hello everyone I am schedule to have my surgery August 20th. I am so hungry on this liquid diet.

How is everyone doing? I'm miserable and I'm on DAY 1 of liquids. SERIOUSLY - I feel ridiculous even complaining given what you all are/have gone through. And that is making me so scared - thinking how in the heck am I going to do this post-op when I'm having some much trouble right now?? It sure is nice having a little "mini-group" of us!

Going to bed soon so I can quit thinking about food...!
