Good luck!

It's a grueling diet, but stay disciplined...there's a time limit on it. In a couple weeks, you won't feel hunger anymore and you'll be just fine! Just remember that now is the time where you start re-training your brain. It's going to take time.

@@mzvanessa I'm on day 4 and it sucks but I'm staying strong! 10 more days to go - I'm not really that hungry but the head hunger and cravings are brutal. I keep on testing myself though - stopped at the pizzeria to get my SO a pizza for supper - it smelled so good I was practically drooling. LOL I'm preparing myself for resisting temptation after surgery - when it's more important. I feel like if I can do 2 weeks of liquids only - I should do pretty well post-op.

Hang in there!

What are you allowed? If Protein shakes - get some additives like sugar free flavoring or PB2 to change it up. Buy a Blender Bottle. If you can have broth - make your own. Keep busy and remember this is temporary and we can get through it. I haven't cheated at all - done with day 6. I can have Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles or Jello and celery. It's brutal but I'm looking at the big picture.

Kristenle yours sounds similar to mine. 5 shakes a day. And broth, SF Popsicles, pudding, and Jello. I have a couple blender bottles and I got a nutri ninja. I'm ready. I'm excited. And I'm a little nervous too

Wow congrats to you for resisting that pizza. I don't think I could do that.

Wishing all of you on pre-op diet for time to fly by.

Yeah, while I was on my pre-op diet, I had many challenges...especially at work. I'd go in one day and there was a big box of donuts on the kitchen table for anyone to have. Another day it was pizza night. Every time, I just gritted my teeth, hustled by and reminded myself that I really wanted the best result out of my surgery and that meant I had to follow the rules. But man, when your stomach's growling and you're missing real food, it's brutal :)
