A lot of people find it gets better. I'm on Day 11, and it's gone pretty good.....but I had a brain fart last night....I picked up chili on the way home for DH and picked up one for me (habit).... So, he has a 2nd chili in the freezer. Good luck....you'll do fine.

Hey friends! My surgery's the 13th. Excited with all of you.

I find that the more I stick to it the easier to becomes. I'm going into the fourth day now. I realized that for this preop diet, I REALLY have to slow down my eating. Sometimes it takes me an hour to drink some broth, have some veggies, whatever it is I'm allowed.

The hardest part now is intermittent hunger and realizing I'm about to go into a habit (grazing, picking up a food and then being like, "WAIT! I can't it this." My plan is to take it hourly.

I haven't officially started the preop diet yet. My surgery is on the 21st. I bought all of my stuff yesterday and will be easing myself into it over the next couple of days.

My surg is monday I have been on pre-op diet since monday this week. My surgeon gives us all our food for pre and post, I like the core power shakes but theres much of it that I can't stand! I am down 5 pounds tho so I must be doing something right, And yes I find myself going to the cup board only to go duh! You can't have anything in there!!

I'm with you! My surgery is on the 19th so I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Tuesday. I've been getting prepared by having a liquid Breakfast (I started juicing) and a Protein shake for lunch, so hopefully it will be easier to do all liquids when the time comes! Good luck to all of us!

I am on day 2 of my pre op no food and it has not been so bad thus far but my surgery is scheduled for the 13th so many more days to go! But I try to stay focused cause the end result is all the matters to me!!!!

[chass003 15]

I find myself forgetting as well that I can't eat what I want && ill do good at my diet at work but when I'm home Im watching others eat, && don't get me started on the stupid food commercials lol. It's definitely a mental process && it takes support...but I know we'll all do great!

Day 3 here we go!

Hi all! I am scheduled for Aug. 22 and supposed to start my pre-op diet on Aug. 15. I am having to start early because I CANNOT QUIT EATING! It is like some emotional melt down. And, for me, once I start with sugar, I go nuts. Every day I tell myself that I'm going to do better tomorrow, but then I don't. So.... something's gotta give. Even though I'm 3 weeks out, I'm thinking about going to liquid now (4 Protein shakes/day) to prevent me from putting on another 10 (or 15!) lbs over the next 3 weeks!

Good luck to all!
