My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday (SUPER EXCITED), I'm 5 days in my pre-op diet & am I'm still starving [emoji26]. I'm just now starting to experience the hunger headaches. In addition to my 2 protein shakes, I'm eating 1/4 cup cooked vegetables as my snack & just ate a 6 oz of non-fat yogurt but nothing seems to be working until I eat my daily meal, which is usually dinner. Any suggestions on what else to eat to stop the food cravings [emoji120] [emoji120] [emoji120] .

My pre-op diet was two weeks of nothing but 5 Protein shakes a day. sugar free Jell-O and Sugar Free Popsicles where life savers.

I've tried the popsicles & they satisfy my sweet tooth, but not the hunger [emoji53]

Eat your veggies raw! You maintain more of the Fiber and it takes raw veggies longer to break down than cooked.

Also, try mixing in a FF ranch packet or other flavoring into a plain greek yogurt. I loved veggie dip to snack on during pre-op. I am not big on sweet yogurt, and I love savory. I felt like I was eating real food, and I still got my extra Protein in.
