Hi everyone! Today's day 1 for me on the pre op diet and I'm currently sipping on a delicious french vanilla protein shake. I'm feeling determined, anxious, excited, and motivated to complete this liquid diet. I'm afraid this feeling will diminish once temptation is put in front of me or I start to get hungry. Does anyone have any tips to stay motivated or to avoid temptation? Especially temptation and pressure to eat from coworkers and friends who don't know about the surgery?

Also, my surgery is August 5th and I would love to find a friend to go through this with. If anyone's surgery is around the same time as mine feel free to message me!

Nice! Just one day after mine! Your diet is similar to mine too except I need 4 shakes a day and the one meal. Id be terrified with weight goals. Definitely adds the pressure but its good they want you to stay on track. Congrats on making weight!

Today's day three of this diet and its getting harder. I find myself very hungry after work, especially at night. I've been sleeping early to avoid eating... not the greatest thing but I guess I'm more energized when i wake up.

Thanks for the support! I've been feeling a bit down lately and just afraid of failing. Gotta stay positive and focused!
