Hungry! (Pre-Op Diet)

Well today is day 4 of my pre-op diet (round 2 b/c surgery was pushed back).

I'm really struggling with hunger. I had a slip yesterday and I think that is causing the hunger to come on very strong. I have my food planned out for the day -- high Protein & veg, low carb (max 800 calories, 100 g carb, min 60 g protein). I am due to have a yogurt this afternoon and am trying to wait as long as possible so that it can carry me through dinner.

I don't know how people are able to stick to this. If I could do this, I would not be here. It was a struggle to stick to 1400 calories a day.

Arg. I understand the point of it, and want my surgery to go well, but it is crazy hard.

Just venting - thanks for listening and not blasting me.

You guys complain and I'm on full liquids! I would eat anything solid at this point! I'm on day 9.

Yup...pre op sucks. I'm on day 2 and my problem is the sweetness of the shakes even though there's no sugar added. Someone suggested unjury chicken broth which I'm ordering today.
