I’m on my 7th day of the two week prep and I feel hunger pains tonight. I had some mild hunger pains on the second day but then none all week. The only thing I can think of is that I had some aggravation this afternoon with someone that always wants me to fix everything for them and I was stressing. I even yelled out “this is my time dammit!” After I hung up. I’m not going to break my diet, I will drink water and go to bed early but it’s easy to see how stress can make you hungry. Also my hubby cooked up some savory food and I still smell it. Maybe I should try a bit of Vicks under my nose. I just need to shut my phone or tell people I’m out of town. Let them figure out their own things.

I'm on Day 10 of the pre-op liquid diet, and I feel your pain! My only recommendation is to drink a shake whenever hunger pangs like that hit, even if it's right before bed. This is challenging enough... you shouldn't have to suffer unnecessarily!

I was up to 1195 calories so I didn’t want a shake. I ate a five calorie jello and 24 oz of water and it went away. I honestly think it was the aggravation that made my stomach release acid. It sure felt like that was what happened. Thanks for your reply.
