Pre-Op Diet!

So... today is the first day of my pre-op diet and its HORRIBLE! I'm already struggling to stay on track. I feel like I'm so hungry but can't eat anything. I know it's all psychological but it's so tough! I really want to be done with this part. I have no idea how I will do this for 4 weeks!! Any opinions/suggestions from others who have went through it or are doing it right now... are definitely appreciated! 

I only had to do 2 weeks of the pre op diet but, I can relate!  I didn't think I could do it.  Once you get past the day 3 it's not sooo bad.  Don't get me wrong it doesn't really get easy but, you realize that you can get through it!  Just stay positive before long you'll be in surgery and not hungry at all!

I don't know what you can/can't do pre-op. I was on Optifast for 3 weeks and if your on the same the best advice I can give you is mix it with ice or coffee or both.

I found that after the first four days or so it get's easier. Good Luck. Just think of how much it'll be worth it after surgery.

KEEP YOURSELF BUSY! i was on 6 ensure a day, and 4 cups of clear fluids for 18 days.. (1 more day to go :) ) I made a schedule of when i would have my liquid. one right when i wake up, one for a "snack" before lunch, 1 for lunch, 1 at 3pm, and one at supper time with 3 cups of chicken or beef broth, so i was drinking all day.. and it felt like "liquid mini meals". the soup broth at supper definately helped with having something that had the flavour of food. inbetween those i would keep myself busy as heck though. I would go tanning, or clean my closet, colour code my clothes, clean anything and everything in my house..light fixtures, fans, walls..walked, went swimming, the gym.. just keep on keeping.. I emptied out all the food in my fridge, and had nothing but ensure..so no matter how many times i went to the fridge, ensure and water were my only options! If i had to go out of town, i packed a lunch cooler with ice packs and my ensure so i always had them on hand and wouldnt be tempted to get something else. Avoid anyone else who is eating, unless you have strong will power and will be able to not be tempted to eat. The days will fly by, and it will be over before you know it!! Good luck!
