So I know I shouldn't complain because surgery is Friday and I only have 5 more days of this but still, I'm hungry! Does it get easier??

It's pretty tough...My doc let me throw in a chicken breast if I just needed food. Not sure what your pre-op diet is, but because my BMI was under 40, I got to have 1 meal a day with 3 shakes. My meal was either 4oz of chicken breast or fish and 1/2 cup veggies. I was allowed to have coffee and tea too, so that helped.

I too am allowed the little amounts of food but not to much. I'm starting my preop diet on Tuesday! Has it gotten any easier for you? How are you doing?

It helped me to stay busy - with work, volunteering, seeing friends and family. The days when I had down time were the worst. Try to make extra plans (that don't involve eating!) Meeting friends at cafés for tea and coffee was a nice social diversion.

Plus, like everything in life, it'll be over before you know it and you'll be wondering where all the time went!

Good luck!

Yep. Flew by. Down 9 pounds. Surgery today and now at home. Gas pain was crazy but I kept walking around and that has subsided. Belly pain sucks but is tolerable. And now on to a couple more weeks of a liquid diet! Thx all for your comments. I'm now part of the club ????

That's great! Glad all is well with you. Good luck on the rest of your journey (:
