I knew it wouldn't be easy, but damn...I'm hungry. LOL. Does it get better?

It's easier at work when I'm distracted, but I'm spending a lot more energy trying to distract myself at home. Luckily, I made a list of things to do when I start feeling miserable or having a pity party. :-)

The first 2-3 days are harder than the rest. Hang in there and drink lots of water.

I agree the first couple of days were the worst. After day 3 I felt a lot better and I started thinking less about food. It's tough though!!!!

I felt like I was DYING the first day. After that it got easier and easier day by day! And today is my surgery! I am in the waiting room as we speak waiting to be called back!

I found unflavored protein powder and mixed it with broth, fat free sour cream or yogurt and some seasonings. If felt like I was having a nice warm creamy soup. The sugar free jello helped at work and a sugar free Popsicle for dessert at night. It gets easier and now I'm struggling to get it all in. My surgery is Friday so I'm almost past this part.

It did not get easier for me. I hated every second and I cheated 3 times in 3 weeks. Hardest thing I've ever done.

My sweet husband has done this pre op diet with me so I would have company. We have stayed home more to avoid the temptation of eating out. If I had been doing this alone or with little or no support, this would've been a nightmare for me. Unbesleevable1, my husband has a great thing he says when I fall down and need to get up. He always tells me it doesn't matter where I've been, only where to go from here. Done let the past pull you down. Take it a day at a time. Sometimes it a moment at a time. It's learning we CAN do it.
