This is by far the hardest part of the whole process & there is no easy way....I was only allowed 4 pints of milk a day & nothing else, so if you can have real food your lucky!! lol

You'll probably lose some weight, which gives you a good start, so just persevere & think of the end result.

Good luck with your surgery!!

Oh my goodness 4 pints of milk a day???? That is not much at all! I am allowed to have two protein drinks, one bowl of soup (any kind of soup) a day as well as fat free jello and pudding, cottage cheese and sugar free Popsicles. Now I feel very lucky!
Thanks so much for your support!

I just started my pre-op diet today. For two weeks: 3 to 4 protein drinks per day (a scoop of protein powder in water). Sugar free jello, clear broth, or sugar-free popsicles. That's it! Right now I'd kill for some cottage cheese!!!!

I do remember from doing a fast last year, that the hunger is WAY better after the 3rd day. So I'm just gritting my teeth and bearing it.

When I did my fast last year, the first few days, the hunger would get so bad at night that it kept me from being able to sleep. So... I took over the counter sleep meds. Whatever it takes, right?

YES, we can do it!!! It is such a  mind game, everything you look at has to do with food, tv, radio, internet, driving down the highway! But we can rise above it all and do what is best for us. Hang in there girl!!!
