Day 1 of pre-OP liquid diet

So far, everything is fine. I don't have a headache, and my stomach isn't hurting as bad as I expected. I am hungry and yes, I do have cravings, but they're manageable. Is this a good sign? Or do the hunger pangs usually come later; like on day 2 and 3? I'm trying to remain positive, but I'm still worried that maybe the hunger pangs will sneak up on me, lol. >_< I've heard many people say that day 1 and 2 are the worst, and that by day 5, the hunger usually completely goes away.

This is what I've had so far:
Breakfast - 1 Muscle Milk Protein shake (20g protein, 130 calories), 1 Light & Fit Yogurt (70 calories)
lunch - 1 Muscle Milk Protein Shake, 1 Light & Fit Yogurt, 1 cup of Cream of chicken Soup (Diluted with Water and spit out the chicken, lol. -_-)
dinner - I haven't had dinner yet, but I plan on drinking another Muscle Milk with a yogurt, and maybe some chicken broth. I may go to bed early so I can avoid the cravings, haha. :rolleyes: Good thing I don't get burnt out on things in just a week. So, drinking Muscle Milk and yogurt will be pretty easy, especially since they taste amazing.

I've love to hear your experiences.

Thank goodness I only have to do this for 1 week. ;-)

EDIT: I swallowed a few very tiny pieces of chicken when I was eating my cream of chicken soup. Is this ok? Next time I will strain the soup.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they only required me to do this for 1 week. How are you doing on yours? :)

Some doctors don't even require it! I'm doing ok. I haven't cheated but it was tempting:) I am only limited to 3 shakes per day. It is getting easier like everyone says.

I've had 3-4 shakes per day and I've already lost 6 pounds. This is my 5th day. :) I was tempted, too.

I actually had a nightmare 2 nights ago that I cheated and was eating a Little Debbie Zebra cake, lmao! I was so devastated. Then I woke up feeling so relieved, hahaha. XD

Wow that's great! Good for you. I don't own a scale so I'll just have to find out if I lost any at my pre op apt.
