The pre-op diet is hard, but just remember it is not forever, and I can promise you that after the surgery you won't feel hunger in nearly the same way. It is much less intense.

I'm on day 3 as well! My headache and nausea is a little better but so weak and dizzy at end of day. I would say water and broth help when I am hungry. I am more nauseated than hungry though.

Seriously there are thousands of us who have done this. Get serious with the real problems, not the misery of liquids and boredom!

It's really hard hun try drinking some Powerade zero. I sip on mine all day long. The hunger pains are less intense. I really does help. I drink 2 bottles a day. It has helped me get through the last 8 days of this nightmare.

Wow @ you're rude. I thought this was a forum for people who are supportive, guess I was wrong? @@Bounce had asked what had worked...I was saying broth and Water have made it much better for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am the LEAST rude person you will meet here Missy. Wake up to reality and simple questions that have simple answers.

Broth, water. Is that better @? Good luck to all on this forum :) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Three years experience extinaBlue. Go to FB for foolishness. I am here to help anyone. Good grief.

Hang in there! I just finished my 7th day on the pre-op. The shakes do curb the appetite for me but just to a point. Man, do I want "real" food again! I agree with the others who have responded. Stay busy. I takes walks with my dog. Also I stay full with liquids and broth when I dont want a shake. I gotta be honest, I have snapped with my temper a few times over the past few days. I am not fun to be around lately!

The good news it that is temporary, we will ge tthrough it. Also, I have lost 6 lbs already, just on this diet!
