hunger pains
so this is night 2 of my 14 day pre op diet. i've been fine so far but tonight my stomach is growling nonstop and having hunger pains. i'm not tempted to eat food is there just any way to make it go away. i've tried eating sf popsicles and jello, and drinking broth and even water it just won't stop lol
it will take your tummy some time to sort of "give up" bothering you to death. It knows an individuals patterns and it knows you would normally feed it! So try to ignore it, and tell it to give up and shut up! I didnt have to do a pre-op diet but i did one for 10 days anyway, just because studies show you do better post-op and I wanted to see if i could do it!! Good luck....You can do it!!
I only strive to be, the kind of person my dogs think I am! 
Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all....

I'd love to hear the answer for that one too! I won't start my liquid diet until the end of April, but I tried a day of it just to get an idea of what it was like and it was brutal! I am hoping that when I am doing it for real it won't be as bad because I won't be thinking its optional! Hang in there...I have heard that day 2 is the worst!

Haven't had the growlies much today but I'd just say make sure you're filling up with liquids. I had the weirdest thing happen to me when I "ate" my evening protein shake & s/f jello - actually had stomach pain, as if there was "food" hitting my stomach hard. It passed but was like, hello, this is just liquid! My stomach must have been WAY empty....
