Why is the pre-op diet necessary and so hard?

Throw a little cocoa powder in your shake. Instant chocolate.

Thank you everyone for your support and recommendations and suggestions. They were really helpful and encouraging. On the other hand, I feel great today and I've been able to work on my assignment without junk food and chocolate! So yeah it's true that everything starts hard at the beginning then it gets easier! ️

I am so thankful our surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet! He demands everything else tho, lol.

We really like Body Fortress super advance whey Protein in chocolate. Don't get the isolate one! It's God awful terrible and the reviews support that assessment. We mix it with milk and PB2 and serve in a super cold glass.....yummy stuff. It is in an orange and black jug at good ol' Walmart for around $18. That should take are of your chocolate cravings. Keep in mind, I'm not sure what you are not allowed to have during this pre-op diet, but I'm assuming Protein shakes are permitted.

I'm on day 8 of the liquid diet so I feel your pain. I went to the grocery store on Saturday and almost cried walking through the store. I had my whole family over for dinner last night, which i prepared. This has truly been the hardest thing I've ever done. I've never been hungrier in my life. We have to keep our eyes on the bigger picture!
