I am starving today!! It is day 3 and I am famished. DH brought home Shipley's donuts for everyone. I did good and had 2 scrambled eggs with some salsa over it. I am still hungry and it is only 11am. No cheating was done on Day 2 :rolleyes2:. I had a wonderful salad that was a grilled chicken breast on top of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and avacado with salsa for dressing. I ate 5 chips only! I did well with the shakes but woke up HUNGRY last night. I need some snack ideas or this will not work! I am counting down the minutes for a shake... I keep on getting on the scale if I am tempted to eat anything. Is that a bad idea. Of course my scale was off from the doctor office too, it was 3 lbs lighter I think. It has a mind of its own. :confused2:

Hi,

I am on Day 5 of my preop diet. The First 3days were horrible. Your still adjusting to what you can and cannot eat in your HEAD! My mind kept saying go to taco bell...but i didnt i havent cheated at all. I snack on frozen fruit, fat free pudding, fat free sugar free jello, sugar free popsicicles (@ walmart for 1.50), Tuna w/ a-1 (you might not like it but u could try it), Chicken egg salad w/ low fat mayo, i also like to boil eggs and just eat the eggs with salt. I hope this helps you. After day 3 it starts getting easier. You also have to try to relax and think about other things then eating and the space between meals will go faster. What day is your surgery on? Mine is May 12. I cant wait! I am getting myself worked up about the life change but i am totally ready for the surgery. I hope you have a great cheat free day!!
