PorkChopExpress 821 Posted October 7, 2016 It's a grueling diet, but stay disciplined...there's a time limit on it. In a couple weeks, you won't feel hunger anymore and you'll be just fine! Just remember that now is the time where you start re-training your brain. It's going to take time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted October 7, 2016 @@mzvanessa I'm on day 4 and it sucks but I'm staying strong! 10 more days to go - I'm not really that hungry but the head hunger and cravings are brutal. I keep on testing myself though - stopped at the pizzeria to get my SO a pizza for supper - it smelled so good I was practically drooling. LOL I'm preparing myself for resisting temptation after surgery - when it's more important. I feel like if I can do 2 weeks of liquids only - I should do pretty well post-op. Hang in there!

If Protein shakes - get some additives like sugar free flavoring or PB2 to change it up. Buy a Blender Bottle. If you can have broth - make your own. Keep busy and remember this is temporary and we can get through it. I haven't cheated at all - done with day 6. I can have Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles or Jello and celery. It's brutal but I'm looking at the big picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Er1n 90 Posted October 10, 2016 Kristenle yours sounds similar to mine. 5 shakes a day. And broth, SF Popsicles, pudding, and Jello. I have a couple blender bottles and I got a nutri ninja. I'm ready. I'm excited. And I'm a little nervous too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PorkChopExpress 821 Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah, while I was on my pre-op diet, I had many challenges...especially at work. I'd go in one day and there was a big box of donuts on the kitchen table for anyone to have. Another day it was pizza night. Every time, I just gritted my teeth, hustled by and reminded myself that I really wanted the best result out of my surgery and that meant I had to follow the rules. But man, when your stomach's growling and you're missing real food, it's brutal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
