I have been on my pre-op diet since December 24th. I keep saying if I got through Christmas I am good. Today I am feeling light headed. My stomach has a Monster in it. It Grumbles so loud all the time. My pre-op diet is 4 protein drinks a day and 1/2 cup of non-starchy vegtables after lunch protein drink. I think I am starving. I really need to work on my water.

You're doing great hang in there[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] I started mines Dec 19 and Im experiencing some of the same issues that you are stomach growling and light headness . I drink 5 protein advanced shakes all liquid no food

Jan 29 here, starting pre op diet Jan 17 and mentally preparing for a break up with my lifelong addiction. I look at it as a gift that I've been given the opportunity to live a healthy life and enjoy my family without the confines of my large body prison. Its time to let the real me out and live my best life. Best of luck let's keep in touch!

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow eeeeeeek! Is it normal that I am eating loads of rubbish today?! I just feel like I'm in the "I'll never get to eat this again...." mentality.

I think that's normal. I did the same, also St. Stephens' Day (boxing day) was my last day so, you know, Christmas and food.. I thought I'd struggle with the sudden food restriction of the pre op diet but actually it's been grand so far! I'm 4 days in and very happy. I do feel hungry sometimes and have cravings (I miss bread soooooo much! Actually been craving toasted cheese sandwiches, something I'd rarely ate anyway. Odd) but the difference between this and every other time I've attempted to diet is that I don't have the option to cheat. If I do I put my surgery in jeopardy. Plus there's a time limit so I know there is an end date. It makes it easier. Here's some things I do that have helped: the only food in my house is food I can have, I try to think of different ways to cook and combine my veggies, spices, protein etc so I'm not eating the same boring thing all the time, and I have alarms set on my phone to go off when I'm to eat. I actually find the alarms the best thing and really helpful. When I'm feeling hungry I can check my alarm and I know how long to wait and, honestly, it makes it easier. I hope this is helpful for you. Best of luck!!
