This liquid diet is killing me

[Gnat 15]

Day 3 is the worst. I’m one week into the Pre-Op and I can’t tell you it does get better. As your body detoxes you begin to think more clearly. I still would love a pizza BUT I don’t go as crazy about it and can reason that this is all worth it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! My doctors and nurses told me that if I do get hungry, really hungry, at any point to have a small something off the list of approved items. That has helped me at times.

That’s very good to hear! I’m allowed three shakes a day, but if I stay up really late, that’s not enough. Last night I got soooo hungry so I drank another half a shake. It’s not technically allowed, but I felt that it wasn’t a true cheat because the shakes are an approved item. I’m glad to hear that your nurse doesn’t think that’s too bad.

I start today and I tossed and turned all last night just trying to figure out how in H I will get through this ..... [emoji21]

Just think LONG TERM ... the ultimate good you're out to achieve and these few days are but tiny, tiny hurdles.

I remind myself that I'm doing it to lessen complications during surgery.
