My surgeon had me start the 2 protein meal replacements shakes and one meal a day. I can have small snack in between IF I feel hungry. Okay so first week was great I was on track doing fab. Now sometimes I feel like I'm starving. I've got 2 more months before surgery and feel like I'm failing more and more each day. I knew going into this it wasn't going to be easy. Hoping after the surgery I don't have that hunger. Side note.... Only need to lose 10 lbs. I have! I drink drink drink water thinking that would help with hunger and does a little but I'm struggling. Can anyone relate to this? Any suggestions for me?

@@Ready set go! Your doc started you on a pre op diet 2 months before your surgery???? WHAT???

I only had to do one week, and I was on two shakes a day with one Protein rich meal, and one piece of fruit a day. I couldn't imagine doing that for two months with my old stomach.

Did he say why so long??

I assumed this was routine because I was never told of any issues that would need ugh an early start on this diet.
