10 day diet starts today - May 5 surgery date!

I am on day 2 of my preop diet and I feel fine. It's weird. I mean it's more head hunger. I just drink a ton of Water and have 3 shakes a day (supposed to have 4 but it seems like so much!) veggies and broth/soups and even cream of wheat with Unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk! It's totally easier than I thought!

patjcare: I am on day 4 of the pre-op diet too. The first 3 days were horrible. I was starving too. Today, not so bad. I guess I'm getting used to it. 3 Meal Replacement shakes a day, Jello, ice pops and broth. It was harder with the head hunger than the stomach hunger. I'm scheduled for May 6, so we will all be in this together. Please keep us posted on how you are all doing along the way and good luck to all of you!!!

Ad: I am also a May 6. My insurance only requires us to do 7 days of preop dieting. I continue to read about head hunger so what can I do if I get it to get it to go away? Ugh I hate pain anywhere on my body

Allbeauty: I think it just takes a few days. Today is day 6 of my 14 day pre-op clear liquid diet. The first two days it was real stomach hunger. The next two days it was head hunger with being light-headed and dizzy. By the fifth day, I was fine. No head hunger and no stomach hunger. Almost one week down, but a whole week to go. I hope it stays like this and no other problems. I think getting through the first few days is the toughest. We can do this. I just keep picturing the pot at the end of the rainbow. Try to keep busy. Good luck and stay in touch!

I'm on day 2 liquid diet and I'm feeling hungry. I've been told to drink Soup and 8 glass of Water as well . My surgery is May 6 in Mexico. We can do it!

I cant offer any sound advice to people during their pre op diet, but I wanted to drop a line to everyone who is currently on their pre op diet to say "I FEEL YOUR PAIN!" I always thought I would have enough will to do this damn liquid diet, but baby I am here to tell ya this is soooo hard! I am only on day 2 and I feel like climbing the walls. I have a family that I have to cook for everyday and I swear it takes everything in me not to give in (AND AGAIN THIS IS ONLY DAY 2). I pray it gets easier!

I want everyone to know I am pulling for you and sending you best wishes!

I understand FeeFeeVSG! I am scheduled for my surgery on May 8th, and now on day THREE of my pre-op diet, and I too have a family to cook for, and I must admit, it has been the hardest thing! I have given in a couple of times, I can't lie, but I just keep hoping that my will power and determination kick in for me soon! Please keep in touch, maybe we can support one another through this! Good luck to you!
