It's day 4 today and I AM DYING! I NEED chocolate so bad I'm actually crying! But I tried hard the past 3 days and I don't want to ruin it.

The thing is, I'm used to eating lots of chocolate to do my assignments and now I can't do this one. Deadline is less than a week and I didn't even start and its sooo hard to start. All I think about is that I need chocolate to concentrate and do all!

This is hell I swear. It's very painful and a lot. I'm convinced of the importance of a pre-op diet but I feel any minute now I will break down and go buy lots of chocolate and junk.

Thank you everyone for your support and recommendations and suggestions. They were really helpful and encouraging. On the other hand, I feel great today and I've been able to work on my assignment without junk food and chocolate! So yeah it's true that everything starts hard at the beginning then it gets easier! ️

I am so thankful our surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet! He demands everything else tho, lol.

We really like Body Fortress super advance whey Protein in chocolate. Don't get the isolate one! It's God awful terrible and the reviews support that assessment. We mix it with milk and PB2 and serve in a super cold glass.....yummy stuff. It is in an orange and black jug at good ol' walmart for around $18. That should take are of your chocolate cravings. Keep in mind, I'm not sure what you are not allowed to have during this pre-op diet, but I'm assuming protein shakes are permitted.

I'm on day 8 of the liquid diet so I feel your pain. I went to the grocery store on Saturday and almost cried walking through the store. I had my whole family over for dinner last night, which i prepared. This has truly been the hardest thing I've ever done. I've never been hungrier in my life. We have to keep our eyes on the bigger picture!
