Today is my 8th day on pre-op diet. The 1st four days were hell almost as if I was detoxing. So much better now. Just think of the outcome!!!!

Hey my surgery is the 21st also. I started my diet yesterday an yes I feel terrible too. Im hungry an I've had a constant headache. I reallllly wanna cheat. But im trying not to.

I totally feel you guys! My surgery is the 20th and I am on day 3 of my lean diet ( forever greatful it's not all liquid). The first day I cheated and told myself just that one time. Yesterday I wanted a pbj soooooo bad and my mind wanted to say just one more time. However we all know one is never enough so I prayed and asked God to get me through the night and shared how I was feeling with you guys on here and I made it through the night.

Mine is on the 20th as well. I am 5 days into my diet as well, first 3 days great, no problem. Yesterday and today I could eat the house. I promised my husband that if I cheated in this diet I would cancel surgery ( he really doesn't want me to do it, he is scared silly). Not going to do either. Cheat or cancel..gotta keep your eye on the prize

I'm on day 7 of my two week diet and I'm not doing too bad. Haven't really been too hungry. At certain times I have been but for the most part I'm doing pretty well. I can have 4 Boost a day and broth.

I'm now starting day 4. It's got a little better but I'm having cravings. Just more so I think because I can't have it and really want it. I just keep remember there's a reason I'm doing this there's a reasons I got like this in the first place so gotta keep going. My friend had surgery a week ago and another friend 6 months ago they said cheating was going to happen because your body feels deprived. Glad to know I'm not the only may surgery:)
