I was feeling good!!

I was feeling good on my PreOp diet until HUNGER hit me. I am on day 6 of my liquid diet and I have been getting in my protein shakes and my other food. I have been feeling "full" for a while now but today I was like a bottomless pit. I added an extra protein shake but today I am struggling. I have been strong and have not cheated but MAN I COULD USE A TURKEY BREAST!

Congratulations Jeanine on making it to Day 6 Preop!  You are where I will be in about 6 months (I hope it passes quickly).  Turkey Breast?  It's overrated and probably won't taste good.    I'm not sure how many days you have on your PreOp before surgery.  My doctor says I will be on a 7-day preop (thank goodness).  Just keep the focus and drink some more water.  You're almost there and are going to be so proud of yourself!  you'll have to help me through when I go thru this!  You can do it!!!! 

Thank you! I still have 7 more days! I am on a 2 week full liquid diet! I am doing very well today! I was just really hungry yesterday for some reason! 

Now we have another day down!  yeehawwww

Congrats to you Jeannine.  I start my 14 day liquid diet on May 24th.  Been trying to have at least 1 shake a day now to help me prepare for what is to some but sometimes by lunch or dinner I feel I could chew my own arm off.  I know I will get through it but with lots of support from my oh buddies.

Jeanine, you have gotten through a couple more days since your post.  I know that you will brave through the difficult moments.  Chew on several sugar free popsicles to help those moments pass.  You will be at surgery day very, very soon.  Hang in there.  Hugs
