I'm new to the group and am scheduled for surgery on March 16th. Today is my first day of my 2-week pre-op liquid diet. I've only gotten half-way through the day and am already SO hungry!

Any words of wisdom as to how long it takes your tummy to "adjust" to just shakes, jell-o & broth?

Thanks, fellow sleevers!

Yesterday was day 2 for me and it was awful. But I didn't wake up hungry this morning. Just had a glass of water and I don't feel queasy or like I'm starving.

Hoping this day is better for us all.

My dietician didn't say anything about broths, Popsicles or jello! I get 4 high protein ensure & 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and calorie free beverages - water, tea, coffee. That's it. Those other things would really help. I made it through yesterday but the evening was rough. Tummy is quite noisy this morning lol!

I'm dying for a chicken wrap with flamer sauce from dq

Day 2 was a toughie - definitely got hungry/woozy in the evening. I just went for a walk, though, to distract myself.

I think the more Water I drink, the better I feel. And I swear nothing has tasted better than veggie broth these past two days!

We can do it!

I'm on my 3rd day preop. First day I cry, shaking, cold, and vomiting. I was miserable. Day 2 was better, day 3 my little dizzy but keeping positive. I can only have 3 shakes a day, and sugar free jello-o, some broth. The worst part is making dinner and school lunch for my family. It's a torture. But we can do this. I'm taking some time to rest, and sleep also, so my body can rest from the food withdrawal!

Keep your brain busy and nap when you can.

I have a lil one. No nap lol. I just ate wheat thins which I'm allowed to have and dipped them in salmon spread from whole foods and boy am I full lol

I am on day three. Pretty hungry....but I'm a champion gonna power through this.

Day three has been good. Much different than the last two days. I'm feeling good and while a little hungry, I'm not "starving".

I made my husband some mushroom bites and pepper poppers. I ate one mushroom bit and now feel nauseous. Blah.

I can't believe I've lasted 3 days! Thank God for broth, it's the most filling and curbs my appetite the best.

But, yeah, this is definitely a test of will and discipline.

Day two has been tough for me too. Ready for bed! I did have a sugar free Jello which was amazing lol. My hubby made mac n cheese for him and our girls (I hate Mac n cheese). I so wanted to sneak a spoon full!

I'm on day 10! My surgery is Monday the 9th the 4th day the hunger pains went away. The 8th day was horrible for me I don't think I got enough liquids in and I had a horrible migraine and vomiting. But I've only lost 6 pounds. So far how much has everyone else lost? But I guess if it was easy to lose weight I wouldn't need the surgery.
