Surprisingly on this clear liquid diet (exception of Protein Drinks) my 2 Premier Protein's a day are making me not hungry. I'm also getting way over 64 oz of liquids a day as well. I'm not even close to meeting enough calories but I am losing Water weight and the scale is showing. As long as I am taking all of my Vitamins and getting enough protein and water in I'm okay with the lower calories. It's going to be the same way after surgery. No matter how hard we try we're not really going to be able to come even close to our calories for the day at least in the beginning.

As long as I'm on track with my vitamin/nutrient levels, not dehydrated, and keeping my muscle mass, while exercising daily. I call it a win!!!

Surprisingly I'm doing great too! Two shakes per day and Soup at night have kept me sustained. Even taking my grand daughter to McDonalds yesterday was tough, i took my shake with me! I'm allowed yogurt so that was my treat. In four days, I was down six pounds so that made me smile.

Way to go!!!!!!! I feel this pre op is very worth it. It gives us an idea of how it will be post surgery except we will not have the hunger then except head hunger, which we are learning to conquer now!!! Keep it up!!!!! Love how relatable your journey is to mine!!!

This journey has been an eye opener for me. It taught me how much I used food as a crutch. Anything going on, I ate! I'm so happy I'm learning to refocus my emotions when something is happening.
