lovealways 287 Posted January 3, 2013 New question...How much time are you taking off work?? Taking two weeks off. I sit on my butt all day, but I'm a social worker so stress is high. I wanted the relaxation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ducky07 7 Posted January 3, 2013 Damn this pre-op liquid diet is difficult! I literally feel like I'm starving myself! Anyone else? Today is day 3. Days 2-3 were the worst. I'm on day 8 now, and it's definitely gotten easier. Still have some times where I'm really hungry, but (most of) the cravings have gone away. It helps that I've lost 7 pounds in the past week!

bigmike 64 Posted January 3, 2013 Damn this pre-op liquid diet is difficult! I literally feel like I'm starving myself! Anyone else? Today is day 3. I almost fell off the sofa laughing when I read this. I felt the same way, started before Christmas. Then the weight started coming off about a pound a day. Anxiety is normal especially when you look at all the risks and long term consequences under a microscope. I deal with it by simply thinking I am making the best decision for my situation with the tools available. 3 lovealways, one4ozzie and Teka2011 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
