2-week pre-op diet....ugh!

So, I am supposed to start my pre-op diet today, but I can't stop eating! I am totally psyching myself out right now. Anyone else have trouble starting their diet? I feel like a smoker that is quitting cold-turkey. I never realized how strong my mental addiction to food is. Oye!

I'm on my last day of my first 2 week liquid diet. I go to the dietician tomorrow. I can say I have cheated some, but nothing huge.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get through those first few days?

The first couple days are the hardest, I've cheated a few times. Keep your mind busy with something tedious, like needle work or beading or math. Lol That's how I'm doing it. Also, I've been chewing the hell out of SF gum and pops. Change your routine, At work I used to go to lunch in the Break room, now I've been sitting outside drinking my shake, enjoying the sun.

Thank you! Wonderful advice. I wish the weather was nicer here, I would love to spend time out in the sun!

I'm having such a hard time with mine! I've had Wicked bad headaches since I started and I just finished day 4

We just had a cold front blow in yesterday, I was enjoying the 70's and 80's. Now we're in the 40's, Texas can't make up her mind! Lol

But the point still stands, switch up your routine.

What did u eat when you cheated?

I gave in to a few fries my insincitive friends brought home. I had a bite of a taco. And a cookie. I felt like shit each time I cheated. But have been good since.
