1week Pre-op diet.liquids only!

Hi everyone!!

so my surgery is schedule for Tuesday Nov 19th and I am still not nervous! I am on a liquid diet that started yesterday and can only have 5 shakes per day (140cal each shake), sugar free Popsicles, sugar free jello and chicken broth. 

I must say, day 1 was really hard and I craved a Chick Fil A sandwich really bad but I didn't get it!

i know the preop is to shrink your liver, but really, liquids only?! Geez, i had to go to sleep early to avoid feeling hungry. Any tips? 

i did weight myself this morning, and I am down 3lbs already!! (Could be water weight)

I'm tempted to cheat (with a piece of turkey meat) but scared the doc won't do the surgery or it will be difficult for me.. Suggestions/advice would be really helpful. Thanks!!

ps- I wonder if my body is in ketosis already (foul smelling urine)

I am not condoning or suggesting my poor behavior and may get a lot of grief from those who will say I'm not ready to make the changes needed for my tool to work.  With that in mind:

I usually ate a quest protein bar for dinner.  On day 8 and 9 of the liquid diet, I ate candy, cookies, sandwiches (pot luck at work).  On day 11 I ate a large movie popcorn.  

Had surgery on day 14 and everything was fine.  My only caveat: I was considered a lightweight with a BMI of just over 40 so maybe that had something to do with it.

Not suggesting you should go down my path, just relaying my experience.

This works well. It stops the cravings for much longer than 'synthesized' protein powders and bars and it is all natural. It can be flavored any way you like. Check out the recipe section. December is always free shipping month.
