@@Floey84 it's ok. Just don't do it again. I cheated on my first and second pre op diet days too. The first 3 or 4 days are the worst. You feel like you will go crazy. But I figured as long as I'm drinking flavored water or sugar free something it's easier. I love miso soup so I had that a couple of times. My surgery went well without complications. I'm at day 8 post op and the pounds just fall off. You barely get hungry. It's more like psychological hunger. And once you eat 3 spoonfuls of soup or a couple of protein shake sips you will feel full. Don't listen to people who are saying "why are you doing this if you aren't committed" cause of course you are committed if you are in ur pre op diet and I know it's hard. You will do great!

@@AlphaB you are so nice I really needed to hear that!! Wow so post op you are actually full after a couple of sips of protein shakes? Amazing! So your fullness is it like a type of fullness like u feel after eating a big meal?

Hmmm I wouldn't say it feels like a big meal because only once did I feel that way and it was because I chugged my liquid vitamins and felt really sick afterwards. However hunger is very supressed. And you just don't feel like eating much. A lot of it for me is that it hurts to eat cold things or sometimes my stomach cramps when I eat so you just don't feel like eating often. It has gotten a lot better though. You do feel satisfied surprisingly quick. For example, my mom made me some split pea soup and put in several containers. Each of those would normally be one serving of soup for me. But it has taken me about 3 days to eat one container. Also those Campbell cream based soups that come in a can and you add one can of water, well one of those will be what I eat throughout the entire day. I've been losing a pound a day til day 6 and half a pound a day afterwards.
