I'm on an 800 calorie diet and I'm really struggling to eat that little of calories. It's there any tips and tricks that anyone has used to stay faithful on their pre-op diet?

Lots of protein.

Just suffer through it a day at a time. Was the worst part for me...worse than surgery.

Sorry I meant to say make sure you are getting at least 60 g of protein. Protein helps you feel sated so the hunger pangs won't bother you, especially if you go into keto.

You're right, I need to suffer through it. It will be worth it in the end. I just need to beat this head hunger.

I totally agree that the pre op was the worst part! Ugh!! Surgery and everything has been easier than pre op! Honestly, I slept as much as my schedule would allow. If I was sleeping, I wasn’t eating or thinking about food. I also would drink lots of tea, I did use honey, and chicken broth. How long is your pre op? Mine I was two weeks and I had to use the shakes and soups they gave me and I didn’t think I’d make it but I did! Just keep reminding yourself it’s to prep your liver-that helped me! Way different mindset than diet mentality but it still sucked. Hang in there! I’ve got your back!!

My preop is two weeks and I'm on day three. My first day went very well but my second day did not. But now, on my third day, I'm doing much better!
