1st day of pre-op diet - 8 hours in - absolutely starving!!!!

[mdmiller9385 19]

Hello, I’m 18 days to starting my 2 week pre-op diet and I’m sort of scared.
I’ve been on a liquid diet before but I wasn’t as restricted nor did I pay attention to the nutrition labels on the shakes I was drinking (turns out they were just empty calories with more sugar than anything else). This time I’m only allowed 3-4 shakes that have 20g Protein and less than 5g of sugar, and Water.

Last time, I was nauseas almost every day and always had a headache. Also I found it very hard to stick with it when I have to cook real food for my family. Anyone else have any of the same issues? If anyone could suggest better ways to prep for the 2 weeks of hunger hell I will be enduring, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advanced 😊

I had a seven day pre op diet off 1,000 calories up to 100 grams of carbs 3 meals a day

Blend ice in your shakes- it’ll make them thicker and you’ll be a bit more full (like a frappe)

Ugh I’m not looking forward to my pre-op. It’s only 7 days but I can’t have any Protein Shakes at all; it’s strictly clear liquid😩

Sand I feel spoiled with my nicer prediet, I shall punish myself by doing,it for nearly 5 weeks and my fat little NASH liver will be 12% smaller, shinier and easier to pry out of the way for my surgeo. See I found an opinion from smart researching doctors that the liver diminishes 2.4% for every,week you prediet. Stuck a sign on my fridge to encourage me on. And now, having finished this news, it's back to the chilled Protein Shake for me!🍶

I have also heard that if you blend Peanut Butter in the shakes it makes them taste better and helps you stay full longer. Has anyone tried this?

How long are you on the liquid diet
