    I feel ya!!! I so do!!! My boss asked me if I wanted carry out today. The receptionist asked me if if I was "hangry". These fools do not understand how close they came to bodily harm. Just kidding but WOW people just really don't get it. This is HARD.

    Absolutely, no one really knows unless they're in our shoes. I'm on day seven of a fourteen day clear liquid diet, surgery is next Wednesday. After, about day four or five. It's becomes more natural. I still get the urge to bite into something, then I tell myself not to give in.. Just remember why were all here. To better ourselves and to start our new journeys. I'm drinking 3 to 4 Protein shakes a day, along with flavored waters, if I feel low on sugar: I pour 1/2 cup of clear fruit (apple, grape or cranberry) juices along with 1/2 cup of Water. Also, have sugar free carmel to suck on... Good luck everyone, just one day at a time..

    Im on day 3 of the liquid pre-op diet. Started on the 17th, surgery on the 31st. Surprisingly not as hungry as I thought I'd be. I drink 3.5 or 4 premier shakes a day, 1 serving of yogurt too. The yogurt helps!! I can have a 8oz glass of skim-milk but I've never really liked milk by itself.

    I'd say day 1 was pretty rough but sugar free Popsicles & sugar free jell-o got me through it. 2nd day I stuck to Water, my shakes, yogurt and two cups of broth.

    Im in the state of mind - keep my eyes on the prize!! I have pictures and my calendar in my fridge to keep me motivated.

    We can do this!!
