Day 3 - Pre-Op

Well, I'm on day 3 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I can honestly say that finally today, I don't want to pull someones head off or gnaw on my own arm to survive ;) Seriously though, I'm doing fairly well and not starving. I think I'm starting to adjust and making good progress. How is everyone else doing?

    I'm on day 5 of a 14 day pre-op diet. I'm doing very well with it. Day 1 and 2 were very difficult but i stuck with it. I'm also down 5 lbs. Keep with it. ...we are almost there!

  • I'm on day 4 of 14 and I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised that it really is not bothering me. I was shocked when I hopped on the scale this morning, I am down 9 lbs!

  • I'm just dayone...but I was doing 2-3 days a week for about a month now. I'll be glad to get to day FOUR. Then I will know I will be OK...Also doing half caffiene and then using surgery as the break

That's awesome! Such inspiration! I do not have a surgery date yet, so I have not started anything. I'm still deciding where to go.

Keep up the good work!

I gave up caffeine when I first started my 3-month supervised diet so that I wouldn't have to deal with the headaches late in the game. Thankful that I did that !!! Good luck and can't wait to hear how things are going :)

Good luck on your decision :) It was the hardest and best decision of my life and I'm so excited about it.

I'm also on day 3. Luckily, my Dr only required me to do 1 week liquid vs the 2 weeks that most of his other patients have had to do. I'm having the opposite reaction than you are. Days 1 and 2 were great for me. Today, I'm hungrier than I have been the other 2 days. It might be because I'm at home rather than at work, so I'm not constantly busy. Other than that, I'm honestly surprised at how full I have been feeling.

I'm on day 7 I think it took me till day 5 to not get crazy about food. Now I can talk about it and watch it and be ok. I still get the headaches and the "hangry" moments. lol but good luck to us all and pray that we don't cheat tomorrow.
