Cheating on Pre-Op

[figadish 0]

I'm on the second day of my all liquid pre-op diet. I have to be on it 28 days and right now I just can't see how that's going to happen. I want real food more than anything right now. But I'm not going to do it. I'm just going to sit here and try not to think about it.

I am on the first day of my pre-op diet and the hours are dragging by! I told my husband I'm going to go to bed early so I don't have to think about food. For insurance purposes I had to show a weight loss in four months (I lost 10 pounds using the "Lose it" app on my phone) and then dr. wants more following a Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Bar for lunch and protein/veggie/minimal carb dinner. I've drunk 64 oz. of Water and spent more time in the bathroom today than I have all summer! I'm beginning to have thoughts about whether or not I can do this . . . but I'm hoping that the sleeve will eliminate some of the hunger pains and I know that when the weight slips off, it will be easier to exercise and a huge motivating factor.

Hang in there GEELYN amd FIGADISH--it gets easier after three days! Just did the pre-op diet in June (surgery June 30th)--it's worth it.

I'm on day 2 of my two week pre-op diet. Yesterday I started it confident and satisfied with myself....then I got home. My husband was cooking dinner for himself and the boys and it smelled DELICIOUS!! I walked right past everyone and right into my bedroom where I stayed until my sons baseball game. Today, I have been hungry....and kind of down. I know I have to do this, and I am determined. But I guess I am overwhelmed by everything going on. The diet, the weight loss I wish I had, and the surgery coming up. It's definitely a mind thing.

I was wondering if any of you felt tired, and exhausted while on the pre-op diet? I mean, I understand that I am eating a great deal less, but I don't know if all this "ick" feeling is the diet, or something more I guess. (hope this is understandable, I feel like I am not making sense and rambling)
