So today I started my pre-op diet and it was not pretty. After taking in my protein shake I still felt hungry sooooooo......lol. I ate a string cheese. Then after my second protein shake for lunch I ate 1/3rd of a protein bar to get me through to dinner. Amazing dinner was absolutely amazing. I had a piece of skinless salmon baked with little EVOO and kale salad on the side. Yes I finally got the satisfaction of feeling full. I am praying that tomorrow brings me good joy and I don't have to cheat. Hey look at the bright side I cheated with protein just in a solid form lol. Before starting my journey I would have never chose those items as a snack heck for nothing to go in my body so baby steps is great. 13 more days to go for surgery YYYYYAAAAYYYY!!!!!

Hope today goes better for you. Hang in there !

I understand the hunger, the first three days are the worst and then it gets much easier. If you really can't make it through without cheating, you might want to check with your doctor or nutritionist to see what they suggest you do. Much luck to you.

Thank you ladies. I think I will be ok seeing as though I can have the one meal at the end of the day. I think it was a shock factor. Today is a new day and I don't want to ruin my chance at a healthier me. Blessings to you both!

I will be getting my date soon, then the dreaded pre-op diet. I'm extremely nervous about it because I know I'll be hungry as all get out! I've seen others say what @@*susan* said, though. It's supposed to be better after a few days. Good luck!!

Ok so it has gotten better. I did a lot better at home over the weekend and surprisingly I weighed myself today and lost 8 lbs! Yyyyyaaaayyyy me little victories keeping me motivated. 4 days on pre op diet and dropped 8 lbs I'm so ready to have my sleeve done and get on with my second half of life! Be encouraged sleevers!

Woo Hoo!!! That's great!!!
