I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow (6-2-11) and I have to admit that the 2 week Pre-op diet is rather stressful, but when I started to feel hungry, I would engulf myself in work or doing things around the house or go for a walk. Takes your mind off of the hunger and I drank lots of Water. I treated myself to a snack everyday for the sake of chewing so that I would not bite somebody in the house (LOL), I now know why supermodels are so angry... THEY'RE HUNGRY!
.. I would buy the crystal light packs that you put in the bottle of water and put it in the freezer after I mixed it up to get it all slushy and that was my treat on the daily to keep my mouth moving and something about it just gave me a sense of satisfaction since I was chewing.. Try it and good luck.
