So I need some help, my doctor recommend the “pre op diet” i haven’t got a date I’m still in the “clearances stage” But one of the clearances was to loose 10-20 pounds so I’m doing the two shakes and one meal a day I’m just wondering if I can snack? Cause I feel like I’m starving [emoji30] , it’s the strangest thing because before this I would eat once a day lol if that ...I think it’s just me knowing that I can’t eat whenever/whatever I want lol I drink tons of water so idk if that makes a difference , should I ask the surgeons office or?? If anyone can give me some advice I’d really appreciate it ?

I would suggest speaking with your surgeon. My pre-op diet allowed for non-starchy vegetables. I ate cucumbers, spinach, and pickles with a little vinegar and black pepper. Just see if they would provide a snack schedule.

Are you familiar with the concept of head hunger? It's when your brain says, "Feed me!" even when your body doesn't need more fuel. It's a huge contributor to weight gain. MANY of us have experienced it. My suggestion is to really understand the concept & be prepared when it arrives. That will give you a huge advantage before & after your surgery. Good luck! You are not alone.
