Hello ppl Im on my 2nd week of this pre-op diet Im so glad i only have a week to go.Im nervous but excited at the same time just cant wait until it all over. Kinda scard of all side affects ppl say the have tho.Hows everyone holding up?

Today begins the 2nd week of my pre-op diet. I'm doing really well. Yeah, I'm hungry, but I keep drinking broth and I deal with it. And I can honestly say I have not cheated. I got on my friends scale over the weekend, and I don't know if it's right, but it says that I lost 10 pounds!! I pigged out the 2 weeks before my surgery, so I probably lost more than 10 pounds. I'm basing it on the amount I weighed when I met the nurse and nutritionist in the middle of August.

It really does get easier.

It is good to hear that you are doing well. Keep inspiring those of us that are following. I am day 4 and at the moment starving, but so far I am following it. I even cooked a full chicken dinner for the family on Sunday and didn't eat it. Wanted to so bad, so very very bad but I didn't. Glad to know it'll get better. Hang in there and keep us posted.

I find that drinking the broth gets me through when I'm hungry. I make a cup of broth, throw in an ice cube and drink it lukewarm. That makes me feel more bloated than if I drank it very hot.

7 days until my surgery and my emotions are all over the place i know i have got to do this for myself and my health i'm 32 and i feel alone i'm very scared and i'm so hungry on the pre-op diet but trying to stick it out.

Cuteypie, I am feeling the same way-my surgery is the same day as yours. It is scary and exhilarating all at the same time! :nervous
