Good luck ladies. Wish you the best!!

Day 5 now and I have cheated once by eating broccoli. That was on day 3. I am only allowed clear sugar free liquids and protein shakes. I don't have a problem with feeling hungry all the time....just fighting old habits of putting something in my mouth at any opportunity. I'm just craving something to CHEW now. I have lost 11 pounds in 5 days on this preop diet. Got many more days to go.

Only two weeks ahead of you. Good luck to you!!

In knew that my case had been turned into the Insurance company, but the approval came much faster than they led me to think it would be. I was under the assumption that I'd have another few weeks. I'm grateful, but wasn't prepared in the pantry. On day two and it's not been that bad. I am not hungry but realize I have as trouble habit of gulping water when I drink. It's like subconsciously my mind thinks I've been out in the blazing sun also. Husband says this is not a new thing..... Apparently I've always done it. This may not work well after surgery. Hard habit to break!

Surgery date is March 18th. I technically start pre-op liquid diet today. My pantry is not prepared....at all. I, surprisingly, got a call yesterday to schedule and they said...."Ok, start your liquid diet tomorrow." YIKES! Good luck to all of you. I'm new to the forums, but do enjoy finding people that I can relate to. I'll be following this post.
