_Brooke_ 45 Posted September 22, 2015 It sucks! I'm so hungry and ill. I think my husband would stick me out on the lawn if he could. Lol. My doctors office has me on a max of 30 grams daily of Liquid Protein and I'm just starving! I just needed to complain for a moment. Ugh... I only have 2 more days and then it's Surgery day!! Something to look forward to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbfn 67 Posted September 23, 2015 My pre-op diet was a couple of weeks of 3 Protein bars or shakes a day, and a cup of fresh or steamed veg, then a week of just the Protein Shakes. The first week was tough ... was so hungry I was about ready to chew off my own arm! I was worried about how hard the final week of just liquids would be but it was actually pretty easy. I think because I knew I was on the home straight, the time flew by! Good luck with your surgery ... it'll all be worth it once you're on the other side of things.

_Brooke_ 45 Posted September 23, 2015 I'm doing better now. I mean it's still tough, but I think my body has decided we just don't eat anymore. LOL The only times I get really hungry is at night and I think that is because I used to be a really big night time eater. TOMORROW is the big day and I'm super excited!

drmeow 323 Posted September 23, 2015 30 gms Protein per day? That sounds very low. Mine is 115 gm/day. I'm still hungry but probably not nearly as much as you are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Brooke_ 45 Posted September 23, 2015 @@drmeow Yes, 30 grams of Protein a day. Crazy huh? lol. I was reading where everyone else can have multiple Protein shakes a day and I'm over here like.. must be nice! haha But I'm doing okay, I have had my moments of weakness where I wanted a salad or something, but fought the temptation.
