Today was my first day of my two week pre op diet and I am STARVING!!! 13 more days.. OMG

it gets easier after about the third day.

You are going to have hungry days after surgery, as well. Most of us forgot what "hungry" really felt like while we were packing on the pounds. This is a great time to read all the threads about head hunger and mind games. Try to use it as a learning tool for future challenges.

For real, your doctors need to get on point with mine. My pre-op diet was 1 day of clear liquids. Most if not all of us had to lose weight to get to a goal before surgery anyways, our livers shrunk in that time. My surgeon said my liver was gorgeous when she went in there.

Good luck though! Mix things up.

Around day 3 ketosis kicks in and stops the hunger being so strong. Such a hard thing to do but totally worth it. A cliche but true = YOU CAN DO THIS.

Every time you feel tempted to eat have a big drink and THINK about why you have started this journey. Think of all the positives having the surgery will provide you AND remember that 2 weeks will soon be long gone and you will be post-op and not be hungry at all and it will have all been so worth the small struggle as you watch the weight melting away

keep busy too, try and do things that you can get engrossed in to take your mind off the hunger.

GOOD LUCK and see you on the other side
