AGreenEyedWolf 97 Posted January 15, 2017 I am on day 3 out of 12 on my pre-op diet. 4 Protein shakes or bars a day plus one high protein/low carb meal. I really struggled yesterday with feeling SO HUNGRY... but today I'm feeling more confident. I think a lot of my anxiety on this diet is caused by me being so used to eating and snacking on things that taste a certain way. The shakes and bars are NOT tasty... in fact, they are kind of gross. But they DO make me feel full... so I'm trying to get used to the fact that if I'm feeling full and craving other stuff at the same time, it's really not HUNGER... it's HEAD hunger and it's essential that I train my body to deal with it better.

kmalcom28 29 Posted January 17, 2017 I've just finished day 6 of the liquid diet. I've lost 15lbs since the 1st of the year. I knew I would have to do the liquid for 2 weeks so I started preparing myself the 1st so I cut out sugar and tea (I'm from the south so sweet tea is a staple). I think that has helped me with the liquid diet. I've taken my shakes out for pizza with my family and didn't even cheat with 1 bite. I've been fine so far and I truly hope I can stay this strong for the remainder of my 2 weeks. I will say I had green tea (hot) tonight and was surprised at how full and satisfied it made me feel. I've had clear Soup from Japanese restaurants which I love! And I've made homemade bone broth. First time I tried it I love it but 2nd time was gross. I'm going to keep trying because it's got to be better for you than canned broth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SillyJKC 13 Posted January 17, 2017 I started my four shake/1 "reasonable" meal diet today. Surgery is the 30th. I'm so crabby! I am trying to knock it off and not think about all the stuff I won't be having and think about how GOOD I am going to feel. I think after a couple days once the sugars get out of my system I will be okay. Good luck to all of you... we can totally do this!
