No pre-op appetite

2nd day of my two week pre-op liquid diet and I have absolutely no appetite. I made sure to cleanse my refrigerator of temptations, and purchased Protein, crystal light, Soups, ices and popsicles. Day one I had to drink a Protein shake at bedtime to meet my protein goals. Today, I have no appetite at all, not for contraband just nothing, drink my protein and had Soup for lunch just because I know I have too. I know day 2, is too early to make any kind of determination of how this will go. I am wondering if anyone else entered their pre-op phase with no appetite?

I cheated at the end of day 1 on mine. For the next 7 days I had zero appetite as well and found it very easy to stick to the plan.

I have not been hungry at all. I failed my 1st 2 days due to cravings that I didn't to control. My stomach hasn't been growling nor have I felt dizzy. Physically, the diet has not been hard. Mentally, however, is where I'm struggling. I have to get past the head hunger and cravings.

Day 1 I read a post on here asking which foods are missed the most. In hindsight, that move was a horrible decision. I made it though the entire day without any struggles, but after reading that post and all the responses around 10pm, I fell off the wagon and binged on a box of mac and cheese.

Day 2 Once again, I made it through the day without any hunger. When I got home, I watched TV and it seemed like every other commercial was about food. Over the course of 1 show, I saw 6 different pizza commercials. I ordered a pizza. I ate over half the pizza by myself.

Day 3 No hunger whatsoever. I was prepared when I sat down to watch my show. I had a 32 oz mixing bowl of chicken broth with a bunch of my favorite spices. I drank 1/4 of the broth and 16 oz of Water before sitting down at all. I drank the rest of the broth throughout the episode. I also had 2 sugar free popsicles. Every time a food commercial came on, I put the TV on mute and closed my eyes. I'd peek every so often to see if it went off.

Day 4 it's too early to tell since it's not even 1 yet. This morning I had a protein shake even though I wasn't hungry.

I had the hardest time drinking all 5 protein drinks I was supposed to have. But during day 4-5 I felt like I was gonna pass out. Good luck!

Today is day #7 for me and I too have had no appetite or maybe I should say hunger since I started my pre-op diet. I was so surprised, at first I thought it was mind-set but later I read about ketosis and that was really eye-opening. Whatever the reason I am grateful. Now 12 pounds down this morning, surgery this Monday.
