Pre-op Diet
The first three or four days are the hardest - your body is de-toxing off sugar and other things so its in full rebellion. By day 5, you'll be feeling much better.
For some of your yogurt, why not get plain, unflavored yogurt and add some savory herbs -- that might help break up the "sweet". I love the Oikos Triple Zero yogurts because they are so high in protein -- started eating them pre-op still eating them 8 months later.
Keep on losing!

That's a great idea. I have been eating the triple zero for a while but they are berry flavored. If I got some plain ones and put spices in them that would probably help a lot!!!

The first 3-4 days are the worst for most people with the liquid diet. It gets easier after that, but it still sucks. Just keep your eyes on your goal and remind yourself of why you're doing this :)

Day 4 done. Two fat free sugar free yogurts and two shakes and I am tired as hell. Have not cheated a single bite yet. But may need to tomorrow if I feel so exhausted. First three days, down three pounds...will check tomorrow to see day four result. Maybe I need to drink the third daily shake, which I do not drink as they are unpleasant. Or aybe more water? Calories for the day under 500.
