Preop diet is harder the second time around

[Slimsoon1988 123]

A month ago, I did a strict,unnecessary, pre-op diet to qualify for surgery. Once I got my surgery date of 2/25, I've eased off the strict diet and have managed to gain 7 pounds. Today I'm actually starting the real 2 week preop diet and it is MUCH harder the second time around. It's noon Im already sick from not eating. I def should not have gone off the strict diet I was on. My next weighin is 7 days from now. There is no room for cheating or slacking. My head hurts! How did I ever do this the first time?!? And why is this time so much harder?!? (Sorry needed to vent).
