maggiei 6 Posted August 12, 2013 Im on day 5 of my preop and so hungry. But at least the headaches are gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peggy D 124 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm also scheduled for August 22 & am on day 5 of Clear Liquids & 4-5 Protein Shakes a day. Day 3 was the worst so far for me, including a headache, but today I am a bit hungrier than yesterday. I find that sugar-free Jello or broth is more "filling" for those super-hungry times. Also, some sugar-free drink mix, like Crystal Light, seems more filling than plain Water. Some surgeons do allow full liquids but mine doesn't. If your surgeon does allow it try thicker Soups or yogurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arking1755 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Hello everyone I am schedule to have my surgery August 20th. I am so hungry on this liquid diet.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsginkc 117 Posted August 16, 2013 How is everyone doing? I'm miserable and I'm on DAY 1 of liquids. SERIOUSLY - I feel ridiculous even complaining given what you all are/have gone through. And that is making me so scared - thinking how in the heck am I going to do this post-op when I'm having some much trouble right now?? It sure is nice having a little "mini-group" of us! Going to bed soon so I can quit thinking about food...! -Angela 1 arking1755 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
