Pre-Op Diet
Well today is day 1 of my pre-op diet and I'm doing surprisingly well sticking to it. I posted recently about how worried I was about this phase, but I luckily haven't had any cravings. YET. What I have had though is hunger. Maybe because I've been a food addict for so long I was more concerned with dealing with head hunger that I 'd forgotten about actual physical hunger. How long does this part last?
I'm on full liquids for 12 days then clear liquids for 2 days pre-op. I can do this!!

I do not apologize for my existence no matter how uncomfortable it might make you.
Good luck! You can do it!
I am on my second day and I'm doing just fine. Luckily I only have to do it for 5 days. My Dr. said he used to have patients do it for 10 or 12 days but too many people were cheating and defeating the purpose, which is shrinking your liver.
