Really Want To Start Preop Diet Early

Knowing that surgery is so close is driving me nuts! I really want to start my preop shakes early. I know it's only a day but im too impatient. Did anyone else start early?

Just wondering...

Good to know I'm not the only one! In still starving by the afternoon (I can only have 4 shakes a day and sugar free clear liquids) but have lost 4 pounds in 3 days! Hoping this hunger goes quickly because my daughters birthday party is tomorrow! It will be very challenging to avoid the party food and birthday cake but it must be done :)

The weekend I started my pre-op liquid diet I had 3 birthday parties to attend. Boy was it tough to resist especially since one of those birthdays was my boyfriends! I just had to stay focused as to the purpose of the pre op diet (staying safe through surgery, shrinking my liver). It's tough but you will get through it too I'm sure! Best of luck :)
